REFLECTOR: Sump tank cover

[Alex Balic]

Hey Matt,

You need some loose weave bid- probably not the factory stuff- cut it on the
45 (so the fibers cross the edge at 45 degrees, then sort of bunch the bid
up as much as possible further loosening it-  you can optionally wrap the
edge with peel ply in little strips so it can go around the radius corners
and then wrap that with some stretch wrap (home depot has it in 6" wide
rolls)- I used the wrap to hold my cores on the spars too- works really
well-

I closed my sump and attempted to put 2 bid on the tank/lid joint.  Of
course, it lifts up at the edge.  I did radius the edge, however it still
lifts off.  Any suggestions on keeping it down>?
