Brief Description:  Windscreen Fairing 2 - Canopy gap Fill

I used shiney packing tape successfully in the past as a release agent but was a little intrepid when I tried to open the canopy - no joy

So I used a feeler guage (rare moment of original thought!) and slid it all the way round the canopy and she opened - phew! (note - on the next lay up the feeler guage wasn't string enough so I used the thin steel ruler that comes from Avery with the RV Tool Kit)

You will recalll the canopy/windshield gap from the previous post on the windscreen fairing and I used a dry mix to make a fillet. Next will be to sand it back then apply the remaining 4 layers of 2" tape - then the real fun begins!
