I needed to seal the exposed "endgrain" of all the laminated layers. I decided to try using a slit section of carbon sleeve. The knit sleeves tend to wrap nicely around corners.
Here is a shot of the wet-out carbon which took the shape pretty well.
I then layed the final covering layer of cloth over the edge of the sleeve.
These pictures show the final coat after un-bagging. There is a little bit of print through from the sleeve edge. Those two laminations should probably be done separately, so that the fringe of sleeve can be sanded flush.
These bulkheads are about done, though they will need urethane coating for UV protection where they are exposed above the deck.
