Brief Description:  Sec PP-6

Finished filling and sanding the Left door. retaped the window w/ Fine line prior to filling. Same stuff as before. Also retaped the Windscreen, as I noticed that the previous tape was a little off line and I didin't have the corners rounded. Ran new fine line around the perimeter and a double layer on the bottom edge. Then began the process of contouring the windscreen fiberglass fairing. The sides were EXTREMELY thick and had to be taken back quite a way. I used a wood rasp, which was good at taking a lot of material off quickly (relatively). That and one of the blocking blocks I picked up the other day is round (1"). I wraped a piece of 40 grit around it and went to town following up the rasp. I got about 1/3 of the windscreen sanded. I should be able to finish off the sanding/filing tomorrow. Then I'm going to retape the bottom of the windscreen with new fineline tape and then apply a mix of micro w/ black toner added to it. This is so that I'll have a nice black crisp edge visible from inside of the plane around the bottom of the windscreen. I've made an 8" radius piece of .032 alum, and after the micro cures and gets sanded. I'll use it to apply the Metal Glaze. So far with the sanding and the filing, it looks like there's only at most 1/16" of an inch of gap between the 8" radius and the fairing. I also need to add the fiberglass tape to the upper portion of the windscreen bow.
