Brief Description:  Trimming Spar Cap

Don't think I mentioned it yesterday, it seems fashionable these days to overfill the Spar Cap, and sand it down to profile. This seemed a smidgen anal to me, so I went with the plans, and went for the profile with the layup. Seems to have worked.

Removed tape and masking. This left an obvious ridge alongside the tape. Consulting the E template, trimmed the edges using a particularly sharp 1" wood chisel. The chisel only stayed sharp for about a foot of trimming, so used two chisels, and resharpened them a bunch of times.

Started profiling to template E with multitool with detail sanding attachment. Multiple skin injuries from UNI fibres.
