Hard points floxed on.

Corners floxed and layups over hard points.

Wing bolt access hole cut.    Layup is done with peel ply on now.   We'll see what it looks like tomorrow.

Had some delays....waiting on epoxy from AS and finally got it from Wicks.   Also had a week of vacation, a friend bought a Comanche so helped him with some minor details, hail punched some holes in one of the hangar skylights, several power outages during storms.   Anyway, good to be making progress again.   

There were some glitches in this step.    A little glob of epoxy came off my glove and was on the tare button, causing the scale to continuously zero once.   Fortunately I realized that something was amiss and put that batch aside.   I'd used full width patches of the UNI and now think it would be a lot easier to handle by one person if they were half the width of a roll.

My neighbor (works professionally with composites) inspected my work and he gave it a thumbs up. 

The table is working pretty good at containing the dust when sanding.
