Steps 4-8 at Sect 46A-23 completed for Upper Intersection Fairings: added epoxy resin/flox mix in 1.6 mm layer. First coated Fuselage contact area with wax to avoid gluing permanently ! Then repeated for Lower Fairings per Steps 1-3 at 46A-24. Extra flox at screw locations so feasible to machine c'sink later. Wheel Fairing surface coated with wax - hope they come off after curing !
