Taped off the fuselage, and the upper nose, then apply some dry micro to the bigger divots, and slurry to the foam.
Fair a curve aft of NG-5 and fore/aft of NG-3 with flox.
To minimise the need for peel-ply/exposed edges did the lower nose skin layup backwards from the plans.
1 x BID over the nose strut, overlapping 1" onto the foam, then 2 x BID overall, the last overlapping the previous by 1" on the sides. The last two overlap 1" onto F-0 and the rest of the fuselage.
Peel plied the edges and the side overlap, (needed a small overlap in the upper corner on the last layer).
The nose bumper was badly placed to be part of all this, so put on 1 x BID just on it.
