 |
|
I've just started "becoming one" with my cabin top, finding the scribe
lines, measuring things etc. It looks like several strips of peel ply
have been left on some of the surfaces around the door opening.
Has anyone else seen this? How would one tell? I thinking it should be
removed using a little heat....
Any advice welcome.
Thanks for the great class Dave and the Team at Aerocrafters!

The peel ply, if that's what it is should be able to be ripped err... peeled off, try grabbing it with pliers. If you havn't seen it before it's only dacron cloth material, I hate to say it but you might be looking at the actual exposed weave of the glass used for the top. But maybe not...it's such a high quality piece....NOT.

On my cabin top there was no peel ply left on the part, but in some areas, orange plastic bagging material. Also what is most curious, when looking at the part from the outside, in some areas around the door opening, like at the angles there is what appears to be blue painters tape laid up in between the glass laminations.
I would not touch the blue tape, but the plastic bagging material is removed with the rough sanding that knocks down all the high spots on the inside of the cabin top. No doubt, this part had so many voids in it around the door openings and then they attempted a half ass cure of slopping in some resin with microfibers and left it very un-even and still with voids in the patch.
I hope the cowl is not like this, is it??????????

Hi Bill,
I trimmed the cabin after returning home from Dave's class while it was
still fresh in my mind. I didn't see any peel ply on my cabin top.
I have a sequence of photos from the trimming if you would like to compare:

If it is in fact peel ply, I would think it should be removed.
Best Regards,
