1. Peeled off the peel-ply from the fairing.
2. Used a thin steel ruler to loosen the fairing, then popped it off the fuselage.
3. Rough-trimmed the fairing with a pair of snips.
4. After carefully and critically examining the fairing, I've decided that, while it fits the airplane perfectly, it has a few profile inconsistencies that give some sections of it a slightly “lumpy” appearance. It's possible that I could sand these lumps and hide them under the next two layers of carbon fiber, but I think it would be tough to do it right. The lumps appear to be a side-effect of the “carved foam mold” technique I used, so I've decided to re-do the fairing layups using molding clay. This will allow me to create an absolutely perfect mold with no gaps, voids, or inconsistencies.
5. Removed the aluminum tape and foam mold.
6. Re-taped a few areas of the fuselage.
7. Sculpted a new clay mold on the fuselage. It still needs some smoothing, but it already looks better than the old foam mold.
