Dec 19, 2023 2.85 Fiberglass prep; microballon coat; creating sanding tools Category: Windshield
I continued prepping for the process of creating the fiberglass windshield fairing:

1. Masked off the entire cockpit and forward skin.
2. Mixed up and applied a thin coat of micro to the fillet area below the windshield. I think having a smoother layer here will help adhesion and minimize the amount of sanding I'll have to do later.
3. Created some more various diameters of sanding tools to add to the ones I have already. I got a couple of steel exhaust connector pieces from the auto parts store, sanded their edges smooth and cleaned them, then used contact cement to wrap them in 150-grit sandpaper.
