Tuesday - Session #2:
I wanted to look at the option of using a variation on the way
Swifty built his cockpit edge lip.
So I gave some conduit a bit of a trim.
This would allow me to stick this directly to the scuttle edge itself like so.
Although I will need to tidying up the cut edge first.
Then the idea would be to wrap fibreglass matting over the conduit and blend it into the rest of the scuttle with filler.
But that is a job for another day and instead I started to sand down the filler on the scuttle.
Note: I will re-drill the side mirror holes from the other side when the filler work is complete.
Despite the obviously low spots, this is slowly starting to take shape.
Unfortunately, I think it will be very hard for me to avoid a certain amount of gentle undulation across the scuttle.
I am also beginning to understand why just mentioning sanding causes people like
DaveCymru to start twitching.
I dread to think how much prep. is required before some primer can finally go on.
At least I can hose down the mess I am making at the end of the day.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
