As much as I hated to make two parts out of one, I figured the close out would go alot easier and provide a better bond if the LE close out was split into 2 pieces. Will flox each piece on separatley, then add a BID to the seam.
Made two tabs out of scrap fiberglas that I will cleco to each half after the flox is applied. Hopefully this, along with the clecos for alignment on the stern post, will provide a good clean seam. We'll see tomorrow!
