Brief Description:  LH Capstrips - Bond to Ribs, RH Capstrips - Trim

I applied a bead of thick cabosil mixture to all the ribs and false spars in the LH wing. I then positioned the LH upper skin in position and weighted it down with masonary blocks to cure. I will separate the wing skin tomorrow hopefully leaving the capstrips bonded to the wing ribs and false spars.

I marked the RH capstrips for trimming with a sharpie pen. The capstrips extend over 1 each from each rib or spar face. I trimmed the capstrips on the line using my Fein tool with a cut off disc. This tool is great for trimming laminates. After trimming I trued up the capstrips using a pemagrit sanding block. After truing I hand sanded each capstrip with 80 grit paper. These came out nice.
