I am interested in glassing a couple of kits I got from Madcow. They are 4 inch rockets. I want to get the Easy Glass sock from Giant Leap to do the wrap and then wet it out with most likely West Systems. I am interested in adding strength as well as for aesthetic purposes.
I was once a professional chef and have many many laboratory grade kitchen appliances including a vacuum sealer. I have tried some poor mans glassing of tubes with a technique that uses panty hose, polycrylic and laminating resin that got the desired results without bagging but now I want something a bit more durable.
My question is this, would I need to use a mandrel in the tube if I am bagging it? If so, would a long FG coupler work? I don't have access to a 98mm motor, or I would just use that.
Thanks for any ideas.
