Before you laminate the layers of carbon / glass over the top , sand the paint and bog off the surrounding area . First layer a bit bigger than the box , next layer an inch wider all round , same again and so on . 4 to 6 layers . I'd do 6 cos I'm a box head . I'd hand lam in two goes with a sand in between. You could do 4 layers in one go.
Yes, I sanded the area with 80 grit and wiped with alcohol before laminate. First layer was a little bit bigger than the box and the next two were approx one inch bigger. Today I am putting the 4th and last layer (since this is to learn how to wingfoil, I am not too concerned about durability).
