I got up early this morning and finished sealing the inside of the lower cowl. It doesn’t look like applying tinted epoxy is going to work very well. The coats of epoxy are so thin that they’re translucent. It would take so many coats to make an opaque white layer that it would be pretty heavy. I’m going to end up just painting this white like most builders do. The epoxy and filler still did a great job sealing the surface to keep oil from soaking into the fiberglass though.
My buddy Andre stopped by mid-morning and helped me finish riveting in the ELT shelf. Afterward, I reinstalled the ELT. We also riveted in the transponder antenna doubler that I fabricated and then I installed the antenna cable.
