<strong>Prepreg</strong>s <strong>for</strong> the Shell Surface<br />

Shell prepregs are used <strong>for</strong> the aerodynamic shell<br />

• Gel coats may be used to provide a good paint-ready surface<br />

• Polyurethane paints may be used <strong>for</strong> the final surface<br />

Painting makes the gel coat redundant as a surface finish<br />

system<br />

This process can be simplified by using specific shell<br />

prepregs such as HexPly XF2P<br />

• To build the aerodynamic shell surface<br />

• To eliminate the gel coat<br />
