[Public-List] Cockpit deck core job

[Rachel]

Gordon,

How nice to have THAT done, and thanks for the description.  I enjoy  
reading about how others tackle projects, and I always seem to pick up  
an idea or two.

I do have one question:  Did you tab the joint where you cut the  
skin?  In other words, the "crack" between the square of old skin you  
took off, and the surrounding old skin that stayed in place?  I  
couldn't tell whether or not you did (but I think you would want to).   
I think I read where you ground/dished out the edges on top, but not  
where you laid fiberglass tape/epoxy over the join afterwards.

Isn't it amazing how just getting started on these jobs is half the  
battle?
