Chapter 5 - Fuselage sides - Part 2

Last weekend my brother again headed down from Seattle and gave me a hand glassing up the two sides. Each side took a few hours each to prepare and glass up. For the most part everything went togather as planned. However somehow a couple of foam peices shifted while the micro was setting up and I had to cut and reglue that bond.

Also I used my brothers Fein tool to trim the glass on one side after it set up. I really like the tool and have found it quite useful. Unfortunately the vibrating motion of the blade pulled the cured glass away from the foam in a couple of places. I was able to get some pure epoxy into those places and after applying some weight the foam and glass were well bonded back to gather.
