Hi............
ok ...that is anormal feeling usually people thinks about when they works ,
anyway I think that some time when we add extra length its better to add
stringth. There are many ways to know if its going to be safe or not ,the
best way is by calculation,or by testing . Personally I covered my both H/S
& V/S spars with one layer of 200grams regular C-F, with vacume system and
the result was great ,, just be ware of the new dimentions on your
templates. I built two H/S ,the spars in the first one are covered with
E-glass and the seconde one with C-F........................
hope that will stop your dout feeling
best regards
