Finish Kit

Canopy Fairing ( 3 hrs )

Sanded over Aft edge of vinyl tape to reduce epoxy layer.  Difficult to determine if epoxy or vinyl as sanding, but eventually tape begins to shred if too far.   I found difficult to remove, but did result in good edge.  Also sanded Canopy Emergency Jettison Handle at revised weld.  I had a weld shop rotate handle 90 degrees ( will be vertical on panel, clearing a Garmin G5 left of center).   I used extra microballoon/resin mix over weld to gain a smooth blend.
Feathered Fwd edge, and now only 1 layer tape on Aft edge.
