Gluing Firewall frame together
Thank you Mr West for your epoxy Part A to mix with Epoxy Part B. Ammonia smelly part B. And gushy Part A. These four bits of stick took me ages to laminate, plane, shave and sand into my best approximation of 2.5 x 0.75" and 2.75 x 0.5" out of my spruce stock. Agonisingly the plans leave you with your own approximation of how it fits onto the fuse. I am screaming for someone to tell me how to do it. Just do it.
Anyway part way there. Be a whole lot more finished when I marry with the front end of the fuse and can unclamp that part of the job after more than a year!
Did this while listening to King Crimson "Red" album. Kicker. Much better to concentrate on gluing than having TV in the background.

Hi Amplitur,
Just thought I'd comment on my experience with epoxies. Best one I've found (boat building, this is) is Bote Cote. ( http://boatcraft.com.au/informationpages/whybotecote.htm ). Definitely worth a look. Definitely no ammonia smell. Very nice to work with and when you team it with a special filler powder, makes an amazingly strong filler. Cheers, Patch.
