PHENOLIC BONDING

.....

 Before bonding phenolic to any surface, be sure to sand the 

phenolic dull (i.e. to remove the shiny surface) immediately prior to 

doing the layup. This avoids getting grease from your hands, etc. in 

the layup, which might cause poor adhesion and subsequent failure of 

the layup. 

TAPES

.....

 Quite often during the construction of your Q2, you will be 

asked to use glass tapes to join two pieces together. 

.....

A glass tape is a strip of BID cut at 45 degrees which is used 

to lap up onto both surfaces that are being joined. For proper 

strength, the tape should be at least 2" wide.
