Brief Description:  Finished right wing lighting, worked fiberglass.

Sanded the right wingtip extension with 150 grit paper. Made it nice and smooth, and hopefully pin hole free. Mixed a small batch of tank sealant 10/1 and used it to install the extension on the wingtip. Hooked up the light and installed it on the bracket. Right wing done!

Sanded the left wingtip extension with 150. Sanded the tailcone halves with 100. Sanded the cowl top with 100. Started the lower cowl, but determined it isn't cured enough to sand.

Sanding out these parts was tough because even though I used the sqeegee with I applied the epoxy it left a lot of ridges. This afternoon I visited the ACE (Aircraft Components & Equipment) store and picked up a few foam brushes for the next go-around.

I'm using 100 grit paper after the first two skim coats of epoxy, and 150 after the third. By the time I finish all these fiberglass parts maybe I will get reasonably good at it. Maybe not.
