Great video, I learned a number of things. Two questions if you wouldn't mind... How do you clean the scissors after cutting the wet glass with them. And how does the peel ply come off? I've never seen that. Thanks for these videos Schaefer Aviation! Great shop. Keep em coming.

You can clean the scissors with acetone to get all the resin of them. the peel ply can just be pulled off by hand after it has cured.

Great Video! Thank you!

I’m surprised no rollers were used to squeeze out air bubbles and excess resin.
