Started cleaning up F22. I originally cut out holes in the foam. Then was worried about the glass on the edges drooping so I made foam inserts. It just made a lot more work. All I needed to do was just glass over everything and cut it out later OR deal with the glass buy trimming while it was wet. I was worried about the fibers getting out of alignment although the plans say firbe orientation is not critical here. I still did all the BID at 45 degrees.
Took quite a while to clean up the edges.
The firewall was out of 1/4″ quality birch ply. Easy to cut to shape and 1 ply of bid. I did slurry the wood first but it needed very little and I think this serves to prep the surface and get a bit of resin on it before the glass. Worth doing.
