Hi all,

My question pertains to which surfaces are covered for strengthening, in the
baggage bay.

After searching the list, no answer was found. It makes me wonder what it
is, I am not seeing. 

A) '2 plies of bid at +/-45 degrees over the entire area of the baggage bay
up to the level of the top of the
central tunnel.'

This one seems self explanatory: 2 plies to 5 faces of the baggage bay:
front, rear, sides, and bottom.

B) (and my question #1)

'Next add 2 plies of 'uni', to the same height, onto the baggage bay rear
bulkhead from the sidewall to
the central tunnel, with the fibres running spanwise.'

#1 Does this mean uni is only on one face of the baggage bay (the rear
face), and no overlap on the two side faces or bottom face? 

OR

Does this mean uni is placed on 3 faces of the baggage bay (rear and sides),
with no overlap to the bottom and front faces ?

OR 

Something else??


#2  Is there any builder out there, that was able to massage the two plies
of BID over the whole of the baggage bay 'well', without any cutting or
folding?

I look forward to some help here,

Greg
