In Response To: Material: Update on Spectra (Johnathan Akers)

Just a note on process-

I have used the flame pre-treatment to laminate glass onto PVC using West 105/207, and it worked scary good. I masked before I flamed, flamed, removed the masking, and remasked before the wet-out. Some epoxy got under the tape and stuck to non-flamed PVC. After it was fully cured it popped right off, but stopped at the edge of the flamed stuff. It is REALLY well adhered to that.
