Foam filler (1.3 hrs)
I just got back this afternoon from Germany, and I am pretty tired. I did want to take care of one small thing though, so that I could be ready for tomorrow’s big layup.
I have to fill the space between LWX, LWY, and the lower longeron/stringer combination, with foam.

Luckily, I saved all the small pieces that were left from cutting the fuselage sides, so I had plenty of scraps to chose from. Like a jigsaw puzzle, I found some matching pieces, then I massaged them a little with a sanding block, before glueing them in place with some micro-slurry.
I decided to tape the wood up because I will have to make a structural connection there tomorrow, between the wood and 6 plies of BID, and I did not want any glass bubbles to weaken the bond.
I used West System epoxy because it cures fast, so it’ll be ready to go by the morning.
