Brief Description:  Wing CS Spar bottom cap

Made a new holder for the roll of tape, added to the heat tent supports that are usually hidden when I'm taking pictures. Sanded the shear web

8 plies UND spar tape full width, (one more than plans), then 10 plies at reducing width, a couple slightly longer than plans to fill the trough. Peel ply. 1.7kg of resin.

Fell into a nice routine, lay the tape, press it down into the last ply and that kept it in position. Then cut the red thread into three parts, where the cap turns, and drew it out outboard. Then pull out the cross threads, then wet it out roughly, combing the fibres straight for a while, then either wetting out some more if they are still dry, or squeegeeing outboard if they feel too wet, (moving around a lot). Repeat
