Yes, the sections will be glued together in a stack, smoothed and then the inside and outside will be fiberglassed; forming a composite sandwich.

The main hurdle at this moment is to devise some side rails with wheels for the PhlatPrinter 3 to hold the foam sheet straight. If the sheet can stay straight, then the second pass of the cutting bit will be in the groove of the first pass and then the heat won't build up and the cotton candy glob won't form.

Any ideas on wheels I can use on the side rails?
