Brief Description: Lower baffle seals

Worked on the lower baffles tonight. - Trimmed-to-fit all the lower baffle strips (the ones that hold the baffle seals in place). - Clamped the strips in place and drilled throug the baffles and baffle strips. - Cut a continuous flexible baffle seal for across most of the left side of the lower baffle. - Held the baffle seals in place with my fingers or pressed between the baffles and my workbench, and drilled each hole in turn. - I made little square aluminum cleco "washers" (photo 2) to hold the baffle in place as I moved along the baffle.

Continuous seal across most of the left side of the lower baffle.

To drill through the seal, and hold it in place, I made temporary cleco "washers".
