3. Place the first layer of fiberglass fabric in position in the mold and then wet it out in the mold. This will be the outer skin of the rudder. Squeegee the fabric to re- move excess epoxy and air pockets under the fabric. Once this first batch of epoxy is mixed, the time limit for the entire process is established, based on the hardener used, ambient temperature, and the volume of coated laminate in the mold. Apply vacuum clamping pressure before this first batch of epoxy reaches its initial cure. 5. Apply thickened epoxy to fill gaps between pieces of core and to fillet the edges of cores. The thickened epoxy will become part of the core. 4. Wet out and apply a layer of thickened epoxy to the bottom of each piece of core material to bridge any gaps between the core and the outer skin. Place each piece of core in position in the mold. Foam, end grain balsa and solid spruce core materials are used in this part. Core thickness varies depending on the position in the mold. Denser core material is used in the top of the rudder where loads on the part are concen- trated. 6. Smooth the thickened epoxy to fill depressions around core pieces. The core material and thickened ep- oxy should fill the mold flush with the top surface of the mold which is the centerline of the rudder. When the two halves of the rudder are joined they should meet along the centerline with few voids. Remove any high spots so the halves will meet at the centerline.
