A few more laps around the mulberry bush.

The vac Bagged fairings came out ok but still could be a little better. This time I've tried painting them in the mould then laying them up. I didn't put the paper in this time just the one layer of 6oz cloth. I'm not sure if the paint is going to be dry enough. Hopefully it stays with the epoxy and not on the mould.
Lucky I used PVA as well as wax on the mould.
Here they are in the bag. I thought I'd try it without a wick this time as well and it seems to be working OK. They will probably be a little resin rich tho by the look of them.
