Whew ! Big day doing Sect 38-29 & -30 Steps 10-22 and 1-13. Needed greater than 4 hrs essentially non-stop doing the fiberglass for the Canopy Fairing (Van's video #3 is super helpful). The black dye in first resin batch provides opaque layer from inside Canopy just above glareshield. These were "sandwiched" between layers of static cling to aid final trimming to size, and especially to hold their shape as transferred from table to Canopy - worked very well ! Used almost all of the pre-cut strips (various widths) to match the 4" radius template. Final step was adding the Peel Ply (green nylon material), which will be removed once cured.
