The wrap angles were definitely not optimized. Something I did leave out, however, is that i applied many "structural" sections of tow below the overwrap. Basically in the directions tube would pull out (loading fibers mostly axially). Everything over the top is basicalyl 'black aluminum'.

Also have a vac pump (2, actually) and have done many wet-laups in molds... just haven't obtained all the supplies for this at home.
