Brief Description:  Wing to Sump Fuel Pipes 3

The pipes ended up with three lots of micro and sanding in between. Then I got the clay out and filled a few spots. Then a coat of release wax and finally several coats of hair spray. Pic 1 is good to go.

Pic 2 and I grabbed some stands I'd made to hold the spar and removed a few bits then added threaded rod and secured the 'tools' or plugs to the rod. It works well enough to be able to rotate the piece and hold it in position.

Pic 3 and I've glassed both pipes with one ply of BID and added some peel ply two. The plan was two ply at this stage but I'm beat after around 7 hours straight. I think it will be a better job too if I prep this ply carefully and then do another. It will add a days work. I am concerned and I want to ensure there are no bubbles, it is a very challenging shape to cover with firberglass.
