Aug 24– fabbing a windshield/boot cowl attach strip from fiberglass. Covered the windshield and boot cow with masking tape and also clear packing tape. Cut several strips of woven glass, starting with narrow and progressively wider until final strips were about 3-4” wide. I saturated the strips one at a time and layed them in position in multiple layers. The last layer was the wides and covered all the edges of the previous layers. I think I ended up with about 5 layers. After setup, it was removed and trimmed to the desired width and then the sanding, filling, sanding filling procedure started. Looks ok in the end, probably need some final prep before painting. Still need to drill for attachment screws into windshield and boot cowl.
