I pulled out the test piece of carbon fiber and balsa sandwich that we made yesterday. I have to say that it exceeded our expectations. I don't have easy access to mold release wax or spray, so we simply covered the carbon fiber with contact paper. We used the clear kind that is designed to cover textbooks. It worked great and didn't cost anything. Now we just need to build a bigger press for the fins...
The weight worked out to almost exactly one eighth ounce per square inch. This will work out to a little over seven pounds for the four finished fins.
