[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fiberglass

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,
I doubt the compression would bother the ply, but I would be concerned that it might de-lamb.  You can probably find flat panels of fiberglass.  What is the worst that can happen, you have to replace a panel.  Why fiberglass it for that matter, plywood is strong stuff, go one size thicker and forget the cost of Fiberglass.

 Hank,  do you thing the compression would damage
 anything?   Maybe it would make it
 stronger!  Were talking very thin plywood.

 Brian,
 I use a different method than Alec, Alec's method is better
 for a very complex part.  I take donor fiberglass like
 truck canopy's shower stalls and what ever is around. 
 I cut the sections I need out of the donor material and
 fiberglass it together.  In your case if your going to
 use plywood, substitute with fiberglass panels.

  I have a question on
  fiberglass,  I'm probably going to have some
  fiberglass faring in places, if I do fiberglass over
  1/8" plywood will there be any issue with the
  compression crushing the wood?    if the wood
  has some resin soaked into it I would think it would be
  quite strong. Brian

   Alec,
   
  I was curious if you could go into details about the
  making of your saddle tanks?
   
  *Where did you get the foam and fiberglass and what
  types did you use
  *How did you shape the foam to ensure symmetry 
  *Was there any difficulty or anything you would do
  differently
   
   
  Thanks,
  Scott Waters
