I finally found some bamboo that was of high enough quality to build my frame. I just finished tacling the whole thing together and tomorrow I'll start wrapping with fiberglass and then on to the tow wrapping. I have a couple of questions about the wrapping process.
How many layers of the carbon toe should I be using ? If I use old inner tubes to compress the wrapped areas should I be leaving gaps between the sections of the tubes to allow the excess resin to squeeze out?
