Big Ups to RIDER !
He gave me some carbon and glass cloth also.
I left you a little something in the letter box. Get it before the snails do.

I had some scraps I thought might be useful. Thanks for the surprise my 2 year old did her daily letterbox check and the chocolate bunny made her day, she was so excited. Let's see some pics of your repair.

This is what I am repairing. Also found stainless steel staples underneath the laminate ??

Staples are quite common, I'm not sure why they are used, maybe to pretension the cloth, or stop it moving when they wet it out. Some of the staples are in the strangest places though.

I'm shocked they used stainless steel staples Col I think they use them to pin down the corecell/divinycell layer???

That could be it Brian, but I think they are on top of the cloth not underneath it, they're certainly long enough to go all the way through the sandwich and well into the core.

Do they do resin infusion and the staples hold all the cloth in position while they load in into the mould ? could explain why some boards come out with dry spots.
Will put some pics up of the carbon/glass I pulled off. It is super thin like two layers of kleenex tissue paper - single ply.

That's another good theory! When the cloth is squashed by vacuum it does get fairly thin, and the layer under the sandwich foam is usually about 100g. (well that's what I use over most of the board, but with an extra 150g of carbon in the impact areas).
