Tip spacers flame treated?

Post by neatturns »

Do I need to flame treat the tip spacers before layup? (Hopefully not to stupid of a question.)

Thanks

Yes, it's a good idea as that is probably the most susceptible area for delamination to occur.

Wow, i never have although I;m not sure why...only takes a few extra seconds.

I'm pretty sure it is flame treated, at least from Durasurf. I've asked this question at least once.
