Wing to Sump Fuel Pipes 7

Just another ply on the pipes today. Now they are hollow I made really solid holding blocks so I can lock the pipes at any angle. You see this in pic 1. Just in the shot are the large pieces of glass Iโ€™m using.

Rather than trying to get an exact size sorted Iโ€™m wetting out the pipes and draping a big piece of bid over the top. Then Iโ€™m free to get it to conform just using this one piece without pleating several times. It should be stronger this way even if I waste a little glass.

Pic 2 and I have them carefully covered in peel ply and pic 3 is my rough heat box. That gas heater is on 100% and its pretty toasty in there. It cures the glass in a few hours and Iโ€™ll be fine for sanding the pieces tomorrow for the next step.

New holders

Another ply done
