Brief Description:  Strake lower skin prep

It is probably inside the flox fillet/tape, but anyway patched dodgy looking bit in port leading edge near the R57 rib with 1 x BID and 1 x 4oz. Smeared runny flox over hole in smoke oil tank OD bulkhead and sucked it in by applying suction orally through the delivery tube. All with EZpoxy.

With runny MGS micro and strips of 3/8 H45 foam, planked the starboard leading edge. Had to pack around the bit that stands a bit proud because it is sitting on the partially sanded flange in the bottom skin, (that seemed like a good idea at the time. Didn't do it on the other side).

Filled the port bending grooves with previously cut slivers of 1/4" Last-a-foam fixed with runny micro. Did 2/3 of the strake with the same amount of micro that went into the first 1/3 with dry micro only, and much easier. Win.
