>Q1. Should the glass on a second ply be cut shorter<
Yes the 2nd ply of glass is cut 10-20mm short of the first just as you did
on the first side of the fin, then peel ply enough to cover all the ends,
which might be more than one strip of peel ply. You can't put on too much
peel ply as there is even a school of though suggesting the whole surface
can be peel plyd. There are advantages and disadvantages to this though.
>Q2. what's the best way to wet out the peel ply<
You generally do not need to put any more resin on the peel ply. If you
first squeegy the whole surface, then apply the peel ply and stipple it in
place with a brush, drawing the resin up through from the layup.
>Q3. I've finished up with excess resin either side of the peel ply<
It sounds like you have put too much resin on for this to happen.
>Q4. My peel ply leaves odd blue strands within the layup<
This is a problem you seem to have to live with. Try and trip as many loose
strands off before you start.
Hope this is of help. David Watts.
