Brief Description: Tape the joint between upper and lower bulkhead

Two plies of BID cloth were cut to 33" x 1.5" to tape the joint between the bottom and top half of the landing gear bulkhead. Shop temperature was 25 deg C and humidity was 51%. Peel ply was removed from yesterday's 3-ply UND layups. Epoxy was mixed together with 98g resin and 38g hardner. The 2-ply BID tape was wet out and epoxy was lightly brushed on the bulkhead where the tape is placed. A small batch of flox was mixed and applied to the joint between the upper and lower bulkhead to ensure a smooth transition for the cloth. The tape was applied to the bulkhead joint and covered with peel ply.
