Brief Description:  Strake top skin

Port side turned out lovely, just one bubble near the fuel cap recess. A couple of bubbles had appeared between the top ply and the peel ply, but the layup is good.

Filled remaining divots and inadequacies of yesterdays back-filling with dry micro, ran a flox seam along fuselage/strake seam, prepped the foam and duplicated yesterdays layup, with one extra fuel cap recess for the smoke oil tank, and the plies over the OD/smoke oil tank outer bulkhead full width.

Did not notice the aft edge of the peel ply had crept forward, so wasted a bit of scarce peel ply, but peel plied overall with minimal loss, by moving the inboard bit outboard.

Only realise near the end that this is the last big layup in the build! 1.04kg of resin expended.
