Remove clecos.

I decided to fill the area around the door hinges in the cabin top pockets with epoxy to prevent water and debris from collecting there.

Remove both doors from fuselage.

Cover all hinges with packing tape to provide for mold release.

Rough cabin top pockets using 80 s/p.

Install doors on fuselage.

Mix epoxy and apply a wet out coat on the area around the hinges.

Mix flox/micro/cabo into epoxy.

Once epoxy is cured, I will fabricate SS covers for the hinges.
