So going to try gluing some laminations together, then putting them in the jig. Clearly I need the winch, as I don't have the physical strength to pull the parts together by myself. I'm narrowing down some ratchet straps to help. Clearly this will be a test piece, with yet more modifications to come.
A quick question. For glue, my choices are Ultra-CAT Powdered Pre-Cat Resin, or West Systems Epoxy. I clearly need a very rigid joint to avoid any springback. The pieces will live outdoors in Florida, so heat, humidity, moisture etc... will be a part of their life. I was thinking that the high clamping pressure might make epoxy a great choice, but may be mistaken there for this application.
Any suggestions as to which of these will be better to use?
