Hi,
I want to make my model boat hull using the carbon prepeg and aramid honeycomb sandwich method.
I  need to fill the honeycomb cells with epoxy in various places were i have penetrators or high stresed load areas so i need to do it in stages.
what is the best lay up sequence ?
should I lay and cure the outer skin with peel ply
then vacuum the honeycomb on after using adhesive film?or a wet lay of epoxy,
then cured fill the aramid cells with epoxy were needed.
Then apply the prepeg outer skin last without any adhesive.

Or can i lay up the outer skin and honeycomb in one go.
would this give the outer skin a good finish.
ive looked all over the net for the pre peg honeycomb method but have had no luck,
lease advise me the best sequence.

Definitely can't do the outer skin and the honeycomb in one go, you'll end up with an extremely bad surface finish. Needs to be a 2 shot process. 

Whether you use adhesive film or wet-lay is up to you and your requirements/budget. Either will work fine, adhesive film will be marginally lighter and stronger.
