Dec 13, 2023     Windshield bonding prep and riveting - (3.3 hours)       Category: Windshield
1. Checked the surface-prepped skin from last night.
2. Taped the windshield perimeter with red electrical tape, then a layer of slightly overlapping yellow tape. The red will be the absolute limit of sanding/feathering, with the yellow being a "warning" layer -- the layer to which I'll take the edge before the final feathering.
3. Did additional masking on the windshield and the top skin.
4. Masked 1/8" up from the bottom on the inside forward edge of the windshield, just in case the flox bonding layer makes contact there.
4. Sanded the edges of the windshield for a final time.
5. Using 60-grit sandpaper, I roughed up the perimeters of the windshield where the fairings will be, then cleaned everything up.
6. Riveted the windshield to the roll bar. The windshield is now on permanently!
7. Prepped my balance-scale, mixing cups and sticks, black resin dye, and the other supplies I'll need to mix up the colored flox for the next step.
