I did Mine by doing the cloth wet out on plastic sheet and then transfered
it to the tubs, cutting and trimming to get a good fit, one face at a time,
and then
the bottom last, with about a 50mm overlap I did the ply wood the same way
and then carefully stuffed it all with plastic shopping bags to keep some
pressure on the layups in the really tight corners the bags dont stick and
can be easily removed after care, this gave me a nice finish that almost
looks like its been vaccum bagged

I just started chapter 29 for the tri gear. On page 29-2 Issue 3. It
states to lay up two plies of "bid" at 45 degrees over the entire are up to
the top level of the central tunnel.
I just did one ply and it was the most difficult lay up so far. There are
no measuremnts given and the cloth folds onto its self while I tried to do
the lay up.
It seems the there should be a better way of doing this lay-up. Has
somebody come up with a good method? I looked at all the pictures, but
they only show the finished product.
