I removed my clamping set up from the scarfed sheets this afternoon and then cleaned the excess epoxy from the joint. My next step was to scuff the underside of the whole thing. I mixed up a lot of epoxy and applied it to the top of the fuselage crossmembers, longerons, and F1. I carefully placed the plywood on top of the fuselage and tacked it down with staples. I was a little off where it butts up to F2, but I can fill the gap with epoxy later. I was hoping to get my next scarf joint glued tonight, but I had some errands to run that got in the way; plus I didn't realize it at the time, but this process was a lot of work and really tired me out.
