No easy answers. Like with many tough questions, where you stand depends on where you sit.

Hi Zeke,
I have a book "Understanding Aircraft Composite Construction". best I have ever read on the subject.
Are you the author?

Hi, Dave!

Yes.     But the second edition is better.

Best is "Advanced Composite Techniques", where I discuss using vacuum
bagging to make thin-skin, thick-core, sandwiches and say why we would
want to do that.

Right now, I am working on infusion techniques that would be suitable
for the home builder.

See my website: www.aeronautpress.com.

Hi Zeke
  Just ordered a copy of your books... Looks like they will be a great
read.

Zeke, Perry or others--is there a relatively inexpensive way for builders to
make carbon fiber or other epoxy/composite "J" and or "U" tubes of
approximately  1 3/4" diameter with, at a minimum, smooth inner wall?
