jpolenek Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 The attached photo shows a flaw I just discovered in my UND fiberglass cloth. It appears to be caused by a gap in the cross fibers - they look like they are a bit more closely spaced on one side of the gap. The primary fibers that give the UND its strength appear to be fine. I can't think of any reason not to use it, but I thought I'd post this in case somebody has a different opinion.

Cozy1200 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Whether or not it's fine, it would bug me. You'll look right at that spot every time you inspect the layup. I had a line across my UNI that was probably just dirt from the rolling machine. A single line about 1" wide across the width of the glass. It landed squarely in the middle of the outside fuse wall. That layup was one of the finest yet, but has a visible line in it. Perfectly acceptable, but it'll bug me until it's covered with micro.

Kent Ashton Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 It appears that the major fibers are OK. If so, it should not be a problem Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
