Submitted by ron on Sun, 12/27/2009 - 15:57The windshield bottom retainer fiberglass layup is done. After an hour of setting up materials -- and another for handwringing and other procrastination -- it took 2-1/2 hours to do the standard four layers of fiberglass, plus three extra layers on the ends to beef them up a bit. I'm pleased with the actual layup work -- shouldn't be many bubbles or other voids. The ultimate success of the task will have to await determination of how well it fits after all the masking material is removed, and how much sanding and filling or other fairing work will be required. For now, the layup will need to cure for about two days, during which time I'll keep the hangar heated for thermal consistency. Time for some fresh air.
