February, 2014 - Spar Ladder Webs |
||||||
Now that the strips are cut and scarfed, they are ready to be glued into one long web 17 or more feet long. The spar table is once again indispensible. I fit one web together to check the measurements once last time. |
||||||
I lay down wax paper so my web doesn't get glued to the spar table, then spread the T-88 epoxy on both surfaces to be glued, and clamp it down. I glued two webs at a time. Each web separated by wax paper.
|
||||||
Days later, five webs are complete.
