Yesterday did a bit of sanding to eliminate any of the high spots on the fiberglass layups. Used a long flat board, forward and aft and a sanding block. Then spent a lot of time carefully sanding near the 2 layers of black tape. Sanded per the plans with the grits specified until I saw sanding marks in the 2nd layer of black tape. Used a short piece of wood 3/4" wide. Then carefully and slowly removed the 2nd layer of black tape. Did this slowly watching to see if the fiberglass edge started to lift or tear. Sanded a bit more in those areas. The first layer of tape lifted in an area and had to replace it.
Today did a little more sanding then cleaned the surface with compressed air. You have to get down very close to blow out all of the dust from the nooks and crannies. Mixed a small bit of epoxy and painted it on overlapping the tape layer. Did this only in the vicinity of the tape layer. May need to put another coat on the left side where I need a better transition between glass layers.
Time Yesterday and Today - 3 hours
