<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You can make your own by precuring fiberglass skins on a waxed or mold released glass pane. Then join the honeycomb to the skins with a small amount of epoxy. A thin layer of the probond urethane would be excellent as it is lightweight and will form a bond fillet on the honeycomb.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">One problem with this process is that it does not look as pretty as using clear epoxy, it is just stronger. Considering that 90% of the people (opinion) use the honeycomb "A" sandwich for the "cool" appeal using probond may defeat that reason to have it.<br>
