Progress on the Starboard Fuel tank walls

I decided to fill and sand the faces of the tank walls before I put them in the boat. Hoping to not have to spend so much time sanding before I coat the inside of the tanks.

So here is one of the walls after I have trimmed the excess glass off from around the edges and filled and sanded both surfaces.



 The forward wall all glassed into the hull and one coat of resin to seal everything up. The walls are tabbed in with 4 layers of 24 oz Biax tape. I cut the tape into a 4",6",8" and 10" width the glass them in starting with the 4 inch covered by the 6 then 8 and finally the 10" over all. That way the tabbing will be tapered with only one edge exposed.

Here is the aft wall which I was not able to finish taping in the aft side. Ran out of Biax tape. So I did the front side today. You can see the temporary brace I installed to hold the the wall in the correct position until the glass set.
