Sorry for the delay, been playing with rudders on Elementarry.  The idea is good (lightest, easiest to build of all the many rudders tried so far), but the execution was poor.  A bit of cutting and shutting tomorrow, might have some pictures on the weekend.  I have tried to answer all the questions on this and the next thread, but if I have missed any, please let me know.

But what about the pricing? Are thicker inches cheaper?

​Yes.​

Abrasive string is inexpensive. And perhaps a similar table could be made for an abrasive string machine? Perhaps oscillating? Or winding in a loop?

​Loop would be smoother.​

Do you mean no bending post mold, post infusion? Or no bending foam when laying out the mold for infusion?

​No bending (not enough to have to apply pressure) when laying out.  There are a few items which infused on one side, then bent and glassed on the other.


Maker Spaces are a thing, and they often have a 4'x8' cnc router available, like a shop bot.

So one could cnc score and hole a surface with such a thing. Does that seem reasonable?

​For sure.  That is how the suppliers do it.  ​
