Nov 13, 2022     Baggage door seam - (1.5 hours)       Category: Baggage Door
Began the process of making the slightly uneven right-side door seam disappear on the baggage door.
1. Masked the area that the filler would be applied. Roughed up the contact areas. Cleaned everything, then re-marked the gap.
2. Laid down clear packing tape up to the marked line, on both sides of the gap.
3. Mixed up a very thick mixture of resin, flox (for strength), micro (for sandability), and cabosil (to prevent sagging).
4. Used a tongue depressor to apply the mixture to the gap. Pressed it into place, then used a small steel ruler to level it off. Peeled off the tape.
5. Let the mixture stiffen for a couple of hours, then came back and leveled the top and sides again with the steel ruler.
