Married the right and left halves this morning. The halves were joined with a thickened epoxy mixture of milled fibers and colloidal silica mixed to peanut butter consistency, this was applied with a Mono-eject tube cut off to about 1/8" opening. The mixture that squeezed in was smoothed with a brush on a stick then carbon strips were placed on the joint that could be reached, plan to finish the remainder through the door opening after the fuselage is removed from the mold. There is heat on the mold now so it may get removed later today?
Continue to work on the remaining small parts, finished the stabilator tips and working on the second main gear fairing.
After looking at the stabilator skin mold decided to wet sand it smooth, don't know I didn't do this before? At any rate it is sanded down to 2500 grit and waxed ready for PVA. Have plenty of carbon left so thinking 1 1/2 and 4 ounce glass, 1 layer of 5.7 carbon fiber, will see how that works.
