Preparing the frame.
Layup complete with elastic compression banding.
Foam padding to help with compression of flat sections not suitable to band wrapping.
Results.
Small radius transitions showed bunching and buckling of fabric fibers. These had to be sanded out and re-done.
The takeaway here was to wrap the ends of the pivot plugs first to hold the fibers out to their extremities then wrap inwards to compress the fabric without pulling it "downhill".
