Sanded Filler Around Hinge Pin Covers

I sanded down the filler until I could just see the edges of the covers, then popped them out and cleaned up the edges.  They’re still sharp for now, but I’ll round them over before sealing the surface and priming.  You can also see a little divot of missing filler just to the left of the cutout.  This is because I didn’t apply filler over the joint between the upper and lower cowl halves because it would just glue the halves together and fracture anyway when I popped them apart.

I sanded down and cleaned the inside of the upper cowl, then applied a thin coat of epoxy with microlight to fill in the unevenness inside the cowl due to the honeycomb core.
