Hi Bob
Good work. Please explain 'splash' and 'OML'. Presumably your canopy tool will be used in the vac former, how many layers of glass did you use and how do you avoid print through of the weave after a few pulls? I am about to make a plaster canopy tool for my Su 29 for the next run of canopies (with a foam core to reduce the weight of it).

Hello Rod,
My splash is only a 2 ply layup,1 ply 6 oz. plain weave, and 1 ply 120 cloth. The term OML means (outer mold line). After Aerotech has possession of the canopy tool, the thermal forming outfit will generate a urethane production tool from this master for production runs. I am also going to manufacture my engine cowling using a PVC core to keep it light.
Bob
