Layup tips
- Use 2×2 twill as an outer cosmetic ply over structural orientations (0/90° and ±45°) for stiffness and stability.
- Employ peel ply and proper bagging to reduce print-through and pinholes; post-cure per epoxy supplier for best finish.
- For large panels, choose 60″ width to reduce seams and labor.
