Brief Description:  Glue cooling ramp rib & other misc stuff

Being that the cooling ramp rib is glued in with Fire Barrier 2000+ I needed to get it glued to the cooling ramp so that when I install it, I can then glue it to the underside of the floor. I scuffed the contact surfaces, cleaned them with thinner, and then glued and clamped it.

Since I am solo today, I decided to do some of the mundane items that would take time off of when I was working with a partner the next session. I put all of the screws into the left and right gear towers on then climbed under the canoe to put on the washers and the nuts. I taped the screws in so I wouldn't push them out and was able to hand tighten the nuts. It was difficult with the lack of visibility and working room inside the gear towers. I still have some other nuts/bolts to loosen so that I can get the washers/nuts on - but those will wait. This was time consuming.

I then inserted the rivets that would be needed in the floor and held them in with back rivet tape...now I'm ready for a helper for the next session.
