REFLECTOR: Getting ready to close out the strakes

[Jones Nick]

I used a freezer sized zip lock bag and cut the corner. Worked great, didn't cost much and disposable.

Best regards,
Nick

Peter,

Did you buy some empty caulking tubes? They make for a great final application of epoxy on the rails when you're closing up the strakes. Makes it fast and easy to apply and get right amount down. I guess a good bakers bag (as used for decorative icing on cakes) may work as well. Also, make sure the rails on top of all the baffles is wide enough. And, you need one or two other friends to help hold the top strake down as you tape it and secure it in place.

Good luck,

Dennis

All,
I'm just days away from running out of excuses for closing out the strakes.  I *think* I have everything done that could possibly make my life easier down the road.  The strakes are together as per the plans / manual, screens are in, the whole thing is Jeffco'ed.  I have the vents installed, fuel sending units ...

My question is this: have you all done anything else that would make life easier latter in the project that I might be missing before you closed off the strakes?

Many thanks to those who have gone before,
Peter
