Default RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD

Considering that I pooched the ability to hold the panels with the jig, I've been thinking (yeah, dangerous) that instead of creating a sheet for the bottom skin, I would get the strips fitted but apply them one at a time instead of risking warping the panels by holding sheets down with a bunch of weights. This would let me use the dribble method.

After I had applied the large sheets to the top surfaces, I found a number of spots where the skin had not stuck to the ribs. So there was a certain amount of press-and-glue. I also ran CA along each rib/skin join. The top skin is *not* coming off. I wouldn't be able to do that if I create entire skins again.

Cheers,
Richard
