extra details

The structure is that the resin will need to go off overnight, so the main activity will be happening on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning (to see the results). In between there will be the inevitable curry-based restaurant trip.

Everyone will have a chance to get sticky under the supervision of class experts. Vacuum bagging and possibly resin infusion techniques will be explained and demonstrated.

Other activities will be foil-blank preparation, foil finishing, and the making of ultra-light fiddly bits such as trapeze handles, spreaders and the like.

Included will be the now familiar 'How do I?' clinic where members can bring along their sticky kit and with some help and advice proceed with the tricky parts of ongoing projects.
