I've been working on this off and on for several days now. Yesterday I final sanded the canopy skirt including a couple of coats of high build primer that then got sanded down to fill in some scratches and pinholes. I also painted the inside white where it's behind the canopy braces because this area is very visible but it would be a real pain to paint after everything is assembled.

This morning I prepped everything for sika, But that process is pretty time sensitive so I didn't really take any before pictures.

Roy Aycock came over at lunch to help with this. He got here just as I was waiting for the primer to flash off, and he offered up a second set of hands to smear on the sika after the recommended 30 minute wait, then maneuver the skirt into place and help with creating fillets at the transition between skirt and plexiglass.

The skirt will need to set for a couple of days while the sika dries, but after that I'll pull the cloches out and fill the holes either with chicken rivets or just epoxy them over. I haven't decided which yet.
