More cowl pics

I will use light spackling to fill the seam at the back of the cowl and firewall. Next I will run a piece of 2” wide scotch tape around the nose starting at the front of the firewall. Wax that and then 3 layers of 4.25 ounce fiber glass cloth and laminating epoxy. Then dig out all the foam and soak the glass cowl in water to dissolve the remaining white glue. Trim the cowl so that it only overlaps the fuse about ¾”. Cut all the holes, cylinder prop shaft exhaust etc.
