We worked a couple of hours in the last two evenings, mostly to repair a broken scarf joint, remove excess epoxy from the scarfed stringers, and so on. We discovered that the epoxy/microfibers mixture must be much thicker than we thought: something like thick mayonnaise (we do not have peanut butter available around here!), so the correct ratio in volume between resin and microfibers is more ore less 1:1. Gluing is much easier this way: no voids, no runs.
Total work time to date: 65 hours
