Doug, if you're really serious about this project, you'll capture a few
hundred bugs, cast up some bug-epoxy biscuits and take 'em to your local
materials testing lab for testing the mechanical properties of the
composite. At minimum, they'll be 'involved' in the next sanding step.

Another argument for peel-ply.


They kamikaze into the stuff before I get the peel ply on!

Actually, the ones I *really* hate crawl across the back of
my neck when I've got gloves smeared with epoxy on my hands,
sometimes biting/stinging in the process.... *then* they
dive into the epoxy on the boat...

Oh well, I'll just tell people that not only is the boat
carbon fiber, it's got a higher ratio of organic composites!
