hey guys- I'm laying up a one piece windscreen fairing to be bonded on with the Sika process.
As of right now, I've got it about .10" thick at the hoop that goes across the top. This is kinda what I was shooting for since that area is prone to people grabbing it and needs to be a bit more robust.
The sides and forward perimeter that wrap around the windshield base are about .070" at the edges, obviously quite a bit thicker toward the middle of the radius.
Since the windshield is bonded in with Sika, theres nothing really structural about this area, but I don't want it so thin that it flexes and the paint cracks.
What say you? Is .070 thick enough or should I go with another ply or two?
