6. While your trim iron is out, use it to thoroughly seal
the covering around the firewall, around the air passage
cutout at the firewall under the fuselage, and around the
formers at the front and back of the wing saddle.
❏
7. Mix up a medium-size batch (approximately 1/4 oz
[7.5cc]) of 30-minute epoxy for the following three steps.
❏
8. Cut the covering from the holes in the leading edge of both
wing halves for the wing dowels. Chamfer one end of both 3/8"
x 1-3/4" [10 x 45 mm] hardwood wing dowels. Use epoxy to glue
in both dowels so 7/16" [10 mm] of each dowel protrudes.
❏
9. Use epoxy to glue the 1/4" x 1-1/4" [6 x 30 mm] hardwood
alignment dowel halfway into one of the wing halves.
❏
10. Spread a thin layer of epoxy over the edges of the
covering around the firewall–this will ensure that the covering is
thoroughly sealed and fuel-proofed. Use an epoxy brush to
lightly coat the formers at both ends of the wing saddle as well.
