Brief Description: Glassing the left fuselage side

Glassing the left fuselage side: Workshop temperature was 25 deg C and humidity 64%. Epoxy was mixed and applied to the wood surfaces and the fuel gauge site. Micro was mixed and applied to the foam surface. The first layer of 30 deg UND cloth was applied. The second layer of 30 deg UND cloth was applied (in the opposite direction to the first layer). The third layer of UND cloth was applied in the horizontal orientation. Epoxy was applied to the fuel gauge site and 2" wide tape was added. Strips of 5", 4" and 3" wide UND cloth was applied from bulkhead F28 to a location 15" forward of the firewall. 4" wide lengths of 17", 15" and 13" long UND strips were applied from the engine hardpoint forward along the fuselage side. Two ply of BID cloth was applied between the aft landing gear bulkhead and the firewall. Peel ply was added where required.
