Taped the bulkhead and the aft fuselage skin with thin clear tape. I don’t want fiberglass flox all over the place when I bond the aft honeycomb bulkhead.
Mixed up a big 3 pump batch of fiberglass and flox and schmeared it all over the top of the honeycomb rib. Once I closed the canopy and taped it in place I put a bead in the front with my gloved fingers then cleaned up any excess residue.
We will see tomorrow how this turned out.
Received my Skybolt fasteners. I’m going to use two on each side on the very bottom of the cowl. It’s a real pain to get those hinges out and they are always greasy. I’ve removed the outer ‘ears’ to allow them to fit.
Held in place with cleco clamps I drilled through the existing holes, countersunking them afterwards for the dimpled firewall edge.
They look pretty good. Because of the spacing on the right side I added one additional drill hole into the shared tab of each fastener.
