Nov 11 Layup: Top Tube / Head Tube / Down Tube

Elastic compression wrap after layup.




These foam rubber pads with ridge backers were used to compress flat areas which do not compress well with the elastic wrap.

The sides of the head tube to frame tube transitions needed the rubber compression pads. C-clamp held was taped to the structure to prevent damage in case the clamp slipped off during the cure.


Very happy with the results. The fabric was tightly compressed. The elastic soaked up the excess resin and came off clean.
