Fairing Stay Bulkheads



I decided I would fair in the cplate braces on the fore/aft stay bulkheads.  This would give it a little more finished look.  I added small strips of divinycell along the edges.

You can also see a flaw on the line to the left.  This was caused by using a piece of peel ply with a crease in it.  If you buy West System peel ply, get it bulk in rolls, not folded in bags.  Fiberglass Supply has a similar product in rolls.  It is impossible to get the creases to lay flat.





Once the epoxy was set, I sanded a bevel onto the foam.




There will be one light, cosmetic layer of carbon over the top.

Task time: 2 hours
Total project time: 304 hours
