Little by little...
lots of sanding....
the hull is patched.
The best piece of advice I've gotten was don't be afraid to go back and do something over. I had waterproofed the root rib with spar varnish but was advised that the covering material would not stick to varnish. So I had to demount the rib, sand the varnish off and apply a coat of epoxy.
I also took the opportunity to cut some lightening holes in, and removed 1.75# of weight.
I knew the sanding was going to be a messy job and I wanted to get it done while I could still open the doors.
Now I can push the hull out of the way, move the bulkhead into the center of the hangar and get going on the assembly of the frame.
