Brief Description:  Sec PP-8

Sanded the black cabosil/epoxy mixture I applied flush with the fineline tape. I'm not sure it's 100% effective, as when looking through the windscreen from inside I can see light at the boundaries where the 'black' is very thin, but at least it should help darken everything, and after primer and paint are applied I think it will be fairly 'black'. I pulled off the fineline tape, as it had gotten chewed up in a couple of places while sanding and applied 3 layers of new tape. After I get the finshcoat on, I'll feather the edges by pulling off 1 layer of tape at a time and then hand feathering it in until I get to the last layer. I thought I would be able to go directly to the METAL GLAZE, but when I held up my 8" radius template (.032") I discovered that the gap at the widest part was MUCH more than 1/16" . so I need to build the area up before going to the metal glaze. I used SuperFil and applied it along the bottom of the windscreen, and then used the 8" radius template to screed/contour the surface. While it's not ready for final sanding after this as there are places where the SuperFill had some surface voids. It's better, I may come back out later after the Superfil has partially hardened and trowl some more into the remaining low spots. When it cures overnight it should be ready for Metal Glaze and final sanding tomorrow.
