I think that you're correct about the CSM.
It *is* worth noting that one of CSM big advantages in a production situation is that it can be sprayed in using a fancy gun whereas cloth requires hand work. So I think that CSM was used by Lotus' suppliers to keep costs down. I don't think that this means that you *have* to use CSM to repair them. I'll experiment with CSM in about an hour or so . . . and . . . . I'm one of those people who has to learn by experience . . . . so that's what I'm going to do. The other catch is that I'm using Epoxy which makes CSM a bit of a pain to work with.
Thanks for your straight talk, I'll report back when I'm done.
