After our Sunday ritual of coffee and watching all the political shows I got down to the shop to work more on the skirt. I drilled all of the skirt to frame holes to #30 for the pop rivets that will hold it on. I tried one more time to use heat to close the slight gap I have on the left skirt but that did not work.
I waxed up the track and sides then mixed up slurry of micro and resin to a nice thick paste then laid it on the fuselage where the skirt edge is located. I laid a big blob at the track area to fill in the gaps. This is to get me a nice tight fit with the canopy closed. I have small pieces of balsa wood covered with packing tape and then waxed to keep the slurry from getting under the track. The slurry runs the entire length of the “S” curve area, this will fill in my gap on the left and any slight areas in other places.
