Brief Description:  Fiberglass Canopy to Frame 2

I needed fiberglassing stuff. Turns out there is a large fiberglass supply company at Skagit airport. So $200 bucks later I had the stuff.

Rolling pizza (fabric) cutter
Cutting mat made from grease board
Resin, hardener,
Measuring cups, brushes, scrapers
Cloth, Plastic, Peel ply
Micro ballons, Cotton Flock
Black die, Sand paper

And I decided I needed more light from a high source so I put my flood lights on a cabinet. Now I can see.

I'm leaving the canopy on the fuselage for starters. I'll remove it when the heavy sanding begins.

I started by sanding the plexiglass with #80 sandpaper to remove all shinny areas.
