Brief Description:  Fitting left canopy skirt

The left skirt is very far off from where I want it. I was about to just throw it away and form my own skirt but decided to use this as the base.

I cut slices at all of the points it was bulging away from the canopy and fuselage.
Now I can form it without much pressure. To glass it, first I put down some plastic wrap to protect the canopy and fuselage from the resin. Then I put down a single layer of 9oz glass
I put a layer of peel ply over it to hold it down and put some upholstery foam wrapped in plastic wrap to add a little pressure
It will take a couple of layers to get this done
