I broke out early again today, although not as early as yesterday. I got to that hangar at about 3pm. Keith was around, so he came by and we attacked the front windshield with the sanding machines. Keith has a nice flat sander, and a round orbital one. Both air powered. They worked a treat. Once we’d got it sanded, we removed the lower tape mask and moved the tape line forward a little. Then we prepped the bare aluminium with the orbital sander and 40 grit. Once that was done, Keith had to go, so I laid up some E-Glass over the edge of the existing fillet and on to the aluminium. I applied some peel ply, and left it to set up overnight. Tomorrow, I’ll get to the hangar again, and peel it off and we’ll start filling and sanding again.

I didn’t have my Flash card with me this time, so no pics sorry!
