Hey Lemat,
Did you say that you do your rail-bands with a hotwire?
If so, very impressive.
Does your epoxy foam saturate the cloth readily? Am I misunderstanding your technique? Or is your epoxy foam a shaped blank pre-treatment before laminating the cloth?
All my shapes are done with hotwires. Here for flat deck bevel rails, i just cut bevel with an electric saw.
I do both, on bottom i seal foam with my foam resin, on top i laminate a cloth with it. For same weight my deck skin is thicker so stiffer so more résistant to pressure and buckling.
