Peel ply in strips was a STUPID idea, took ages to strip it off a bit at a time.
Plans tells you to unmount the strut to sand it all flat, but I don't see the point. Sanded rear half with random orbit sander and 36grit, and will sand back the rest after the conduit BID is applied, meaning I only invert the strut once.
Hot glued on the coreflute to support the conduit, then 5-min on the 12mm flexible conduit.
Cut peel ply for conduit BID.
Cut Landing Brake hinge at 12", sanded and scotch brited.
