Ron...yes...I saw the mylar...nice bond break/separator. I like what
you've done and intend to replicate it...looks like an ounce of
prevention to me.
I've already added a vertical separator of sorts which would allow some
bulging of the tank forward face but would prevent such bulging from
interfering w/ the spars and spar strap. It consists of a 3 bid layup
w/ 1/4" x 1/2" balsa stiffeners w/ 2 bid layup and a top flange which
is floxed to the underside of the "shelf" support; it extends down to
between the 2 FG spacers. I hot glued some 1/8" poly foam as a
cushion...pix below.
I'm still curious as to what our tanks are made of...LDPE or HDPE...(?)
