Attached Vert Stab Tip after dimpling aluminum and Countersinking fiberglass. Mixed 410 Microlight into epoxy, then applied to same VS Tip, plus LH and RH Elevator Tips on top side now. First sanded surfaces with 400 grit followed by good cleaning with isopropyl alcohol. (note: this time slightly too much microlight mixed in ...seemed a little harder to apply smoothly via squeegee. I'll try a little less for second pass to fill in remaining rough spots after sanding)
