| test composite panel-breather Photo by eloy avila created 6/26/2002 submitted 7/6/2002 09:36:19 PM Here a layer of breather is applied over the peel ply before being trimmed to fit. This allows for air to evacuate and soaks up excess epoxy. It should be cut about an inch away from the vaccum bag tape. | |
