Brief Description:  Starboard strake top skin install

After sporadic prep over the last few days, painted raw EZpoxy over the mating surfaces, made a huge batch of wet flox and mounded it over the lower mating surfaces. For the leading edge inboard of R33 and the fuselage side forward of BAB I used MGS, cause the EZpoxy is running out. With Viki managing the leading tip I installed and weighted the top skin. Flox oozed out nicely in all the visible areas.

Smoothed the ooze in all accessible areas, and taped what I could reach with 2 x BID and 1 x 4oz. I just about ruptured myself trying to get at the inside of the luggage area, got a couple on where I could reach, about 30%, when it occurred to me it will be much easer to sit underneath and do it when the fuselage is inverted for the lower outer strake skin. Gave up.

Did tape the top skin/nose inner skin joint inside the luggage area with 1 x BID and 1 x 4oz and peel ply. Realise afterward the 1 x 4oz was superflous.
