| More (lots) sanding today. Sanded the spinner ring and the flox build-ups on th elower cowl so that they are flush with the upper. |
|
| Boy this stuff was a bugger went through a lot of 60 grit, but it's getting nice and flushed up. I filled the horizontal seams last |
|
| night after taping the upper with duct tape. I want a nice and tight fit between the cowl halves. I was worried that thismight not |
|
| work, but after splitting the halves and removing the tape and then rejoining the halves and sanding the seam flush 9along with |
|
| the fiberglass strips covering the rivet lines, it looks really good!. I repaired the flox pour around the intake rings on the lower |
|
| cowl, when I pressed some modeling clay in between the halves at the last minute when initially pouting the flox retainer rings, It |
|
| left a large gap around split in the cowl halves where there is no retainer ring. So after splitting the halves again, I took some |
|
| modeling clay and made a dam behind the ring, mixed up some Flox/Cobosil, then used some syringes to inject it into the voids. |
|
| the olny steps remaining prior to spraying smooth prime are to rough sand the lower cowl for adhesion, and fit and fair as |
|
| necessary the oil door. I'm off for a couple of ay's of fun and golf with some old friends so this will have to wait til next Monday. |
