Brief Description:  Left wing Bottom Skin

Prep took several days for the bottom skin. I had to clean up the spar cap layup which is careful work and then use a dental bit to lower the level of all glue joins. The cores were close but took a slight sand to get level. Speaking of level I also spent a while with the jigs and little mixing sticks ensuring the wing was as straight as I could make it. Attention to twist was also needed and its within ,2 of a degree again depending on how you hold your mouth.

Cutting the glass took a day or so and I'm rolling the pieces up on lengths of large conduit and using taped edges with a written plan for unrolling. Then they are covered in plastic and labeled. Seems over the top? Nope...

Slurry took a couple of hours as usual. Followed my two ply of UNI and finally the tip BID reinforcement piece. All good and as we had done it before on the right wing this one has the benefit of refined techniques. Only 8 hours today for myself and again Michael ensuring a quality job. All up probably over 25 hours work including prep although each log entry gets 10 hours ...I really don't need to know how long it all takes. Thats always already in the past and I'm looking to the next task on the build.
