Carbon boot got done today. It was a bit floppy on its own, so I used Andrew's inner skeleton mould to make a skeleton, and now it is as stiff as a 17yo at a bikini contest.
As you can see from the pics, the inside looks very un-carbon-like. That is where I used nylon material from the dress shop trying to cut costs on proper peel ply. Won't be doing that again. It took three hours of grinding with a wire wheel and orbital sander to get it to a stage that was good enough to bond the skeleton to. It simply does not 'peel' off like it should have. I now own a big roll of proper peel ply from my mates at playwithcarbon.
