Brief Description: Windscreen Faring Sanding
|
|
More sanding of the windscreen fairing... it is challenging to get a smooth finish all the way to the tape, I think I'll be adding some micro balloons and epoxy here and sanding down.
But before I do, I think I've gotten to the point I need to solve all remaining issues with how the canopy skirts meet the windscreen fairing. The left side canopy skirt, the forward top portion bows outward about the thickness of the fiberglass skirt. I decided to create a spacer from scrap fiberglass previously cut from the skirt, sand it into a wedge shape in two directions, from to back, and top to bottom, so that it just snugly fits between the plexiglass and the inside of the fiberglass canopy skirt.
I epoxied the spacer in place, once it sets up overnight, I will sand down the outside of the canopy skirt as required.
oh, and dinner was quick and easy.
