Composite props usually require an electro formed compound curved nickel

cuff.

These are quite expensive but a thin stainless cuff could be made and

bonded on.

The trick is welding the 0.016 inch thin SS parts together so they fit
a compound curve prop blade leading edge. Good argument for a straight
taper blade instead. That way the SS cuff can be merely bent and glued on.
