It is critical that the scarf angle is set at a minimum ratio of 12:1 and that the patch thickness matches the original laminate. Matching the original thickness ensures that the stiffness will be the same as the surrounding area, reducing the chance of a crack around the repair area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreating a scarf angle on the original laminate helps in many ways. It provides a substantial amount of surface area for adhesion and acts as a transition zone so that the difference in properties of the new and original laminate are not concentrated at one point. We suggest a minimum 12:1 scarf ratio between the length of the scarf and the laminate thickness. This ratio applies to both skins when repairing a cored laminate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e—Excerpted from \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eCommon Errors in Fiberglass Repair\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e by Jeff Wright, Epoxyworks 38\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-box bg-transparent\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBeveling Fiberglass in a Transom Repair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fiberglass thickness determines the bevel length, which is also the distance from the corner to the location of the cuts for removing the fiberglass skin.

It is critical that the scarf angle is set at a minimum ratio of 12:1 and that the patch thickness matches the original laminate.

It provides a substantial amount of surface area for adhesion and acts as a transition zone so that the difference in properties of the new and original laminate are not concentrated at one point. We suggest a minimum 12:1 scarf ratio between the length of the scarf and the laminate thickness.

How visible they are in relation to each other is in direct proportion to their various diameters (7 is least visible, 100 is most visible). Equally true, the smaller the fiber, the more fibers there are for any given unit of measure, the more likely they are to choke mixes at higher dosage rates.
