Hi there,

Is there a reason NOT to use a perforated heat shrink tape when doing a wet layup around a cylindrical object to get rid of the excess resin?

As I can't see it on the Easycomposite website, can I use standard tape and make holes with a pin? Or will the tension tear the tape off the part once heat is applied?

Many thanks,
P.

Many thanks for your suggestions. I think overall my project worked reasonably well, with a lot of learning.

Some pictures to show what can be achieved with this method.




Yes I'm a bit obsessed by weight, agreed, hence this project
