Brief Description: Canopy Skirt #7, Heat gun on the right top
|
|
My thought is that I want to get all of the areas fitting as well as possible before I get to any liquid shims (additional fiberglass/flox/resin mix). So I started with the right skirt, where there was a fairly significant gap at the top, between the canopy and the skirt. Using the heat gun and clamping wood, I was able to get the gap to disappear. I can only work about 6"- 8" at a time so it is slow going...but its working, so that the important part. As I said, I am working from the front to the rear, and I marked where the gap needs work with the painters tape. I guess before I get too far into making things perfect, I need to get a final measurement and cut on the tops, bottoms and front sides, so tomorrow I will install the top front skin and line things up.
