Hey, Pepe, I've used masking tape, you just stick it on outside the required area and cut through the middle of it. BUT you have to make sure you don't stretch the tape while sticking it on, or it distorts the cloth. If you're doing compound curves you also need to unstick the tape, (so that the cloth can conform to the shape,) but that is fairly easy once wet out, the epoxy seems to release the adhesive.

no mate just scissors,

I've seen guys using a 3M spray contact to hold things in place while laminating. It works quite well. I wouldn't use hairspray. I would think it has wax in it

or bog on joints and 200 staples?

Another masterpiece Paul!!! Great work mate.

wow!!!

3M Super 77 spray glue is the go. lightly dust the area you want to keep together. let it dry, then cut it out. You will loose all drapability if u spray though.

it aint cheap though. mine cost like $30 for a can. it is designed to be able to be used on EPS without melting it. It also wont mess with the resin.

great looking fin pepe is it from a mold ? I've been using hairspray and it works fine on carbon as long as you only use it on one side but not so good on glass ,also been using a fabric cutting wheel to cut the fabric

Yes it is Keef, I posted pictures of the mould in "meguiars mold release wax" back in 2014. I use an "Olfa" rotary cutter, does the job well.

I remember the post but cant remember if the mold had a spillage well ? have you thought of blocking the mold off and doing some smaller versions as it's a great lookijg fin
I got hold of a c3 sweed and made some rubber plugs , maybe its worth a thought as well as a solid glass leading edge or maybe you have tried it

Oooh, I like that anodized foil. It appeals to my taste for the bright and sparkly.
