Marc,

I didn't take pictures as I went but have one with two layers of carbon. It has not been trimmed yet so it is kinda ugly and dangerous at the point, no bleeding yet but almost. I did most everything others have suggested but screwed up using the frog tape to cover part of the duct tape. I tried packing tape but it wrinkled up for me and also left a residue so I went with grey duct tape. It separated from the glass easily so I should have just stuck with it.

I cut my strips of carbon down to 4 x 24 and 4 x 30 but wish I had a way for 1 - 4' wide by 72" piece for the final, that way I would have only one seam.

: Dan,
