Brief Description: tape aft side of forward landing gear bulkhead

Workshop temperature was 25 deg C and humidity was 46%. 93g resin was mixed with 35g of hardner to make a batch of epoxy. 2-ply of BID cloth (1.5" x 32") was cut out along with a length of 2" wide peel ply to a length slightly longer than 32". The peel ply from yesterdays 6-ply UND layup was removed. The BID tape was wet out and epoxy was applied to the aft fact seam of the forward landing gear bulkhead. A small batch of flox was mixed and applied to the joint to make a smooth transition for the 1.5" wide BID tape. The 2-ply BID tape was applied and the peel ply was applied over top of the BID tape and left to cure.
