These were done in a rush on extra foam that we lost the dimensions to so it’s obviously not perfect.
Good things:
It stuck!! The 3M Super 90 Contact Spray Adhesive was an experiment in itself, so we can use it on future tests now that we know it adheres very well to the slick aluminum.
Problems:
We used wood scraps to better distribute the force of the clamps, but unfortunately, we got too much epoxy on them so they wouldn’t remove unless physically ripped off (which is where the crack in the foam comes from). In the future to solve this problem, we’re going to put parchment paper between the wood and epoxy.
Improvements:
To make the leading edge sheet metal lighter, we’re going to implement a “finger” style design.
