COMPLETING THE FUSELAGE COVERING

Finishing tapes were applied to all of the corners and edges of the fuselage. By this time the students had become accustomed to the awful smell of the Polybrush, and chose to work in short spells rather than wear the rather cumbersome (and non-becoming) respirator masks.

The "workers" pause for a photo at the end of a covering session. The final phase of covering was done in November, 1995. The hangar was not heated and the temperature was getting quite cool near the end of each work session.


Finishing tapes were applied to the horizontal tail and also to the landing gear struts shown in the foreground. We tried to convince the students to wear the latex surgeons gloves whenever they were working directly with the polybrush.
