Brief Description:  Strake leading edge rib taping/sight gauges

Filled all flox corners and taped up all gauge sites. 1 x BID over the whole area including fairing blocks and overlapping 1" on surrounds, 1 x BID and 1 x 4oz just over and 1" around the sight sites. Messed up lower edge of starboard side at bottom, will need another tape later. Peel plied and clamped on 25mm OD gauge forms, polished up with car wax.

Taped up remainder of starboard rib noses to leading edge skin and smoke oil tank nose block, 1 x BID and 1 x 4oz. Made a complete hash of taping the acute angle, it really just has the plies mashed into the angle. My leading edges are smaller than the Featherlite versions, which are described as hard to tape, I see why.

1 x BID and 1 x 4oz re-tape behind sight gauges inside fuel tanks

Still gummy the next day, so I replaced all the electric blankies and did something else.
