rolling a fat one




Just demouled the latest fus, as expected it is not good because there was a hole in the bladder so the pressure could not be maintained during the cure. However on the bright side the new method of making a pre rolled blank before placing the material in the mould worked really well. This means there is only one seam in the moulding making it stronger and lighter. This one came out at 165g ( how does the compare to other model rear fus, comments please?) . Think I will now scrap the bladder and make a new one.
