2nd epoxy day. Today I applied the second batch of 3 layers to the rear skirt.
This time, I had my girlfriend Cindy come out and take some pictures while I was applying the last layers.
Going bottom up, in the next picture I'm applying the last layers and peel ply towards the top center.
Moving to the top section near the doghouse. Still one more piece required in the center section. It's quite important wetting out the parts well and then making sure the pieces glue together welll.
You can achieve this by dipping some more epoxy resin on the parts which tend to stick up using a brush.
Same on the intersecting lines. You don't want any air traps or bubbles in here.
A roller also helps getting the excess epoxy out on the final layers.
Glueing on another piece.
And rolling it gently into final position. Enjoy the view of the master at work :)
Some more dipping edges with sticky hands. God I hate this... I find this worse than the fuel tanks.
Anyway, final layer applied. Now it's time to let it cure and start the finalizing part. I'm all excited to see it come off the fuselage and inspect the final match after trimming.
