This weekend I did a lot of grinding. And sand blasting. And vacuuming. And solvent wiping. I did finally get the trapezoidal spacers trimmed and installed for the fuel tank hold forward bulkhead.
You can see the remnants of my vinylester patch-up from last year.
Of note: My main stringers were maybe 2 layers of heavy woven roving. Not super heavy. I patched my nick in the port stringer with vinylester and 4 layers of 17 oz biax in alternating orientations. The bukhead goes over top, so I wasn't going to skimp on a really hard to inspect spot.
And the plywood under the cockpit sole? Not even really glassed in. I am not impressed. Not sure that's original or not. I tried to seal it with neat vinylester while I was installing the biax.
This was a lot of work. But 8 months ago, this hold was a mushroom farm.
