The main order of the day was to continue work on the bulkhead tabbing.  The tabbing in the main cabin was done, so what remained was the head area and forward cabin.  As usual, after a final solvent wash I began with epoxy fillets to ease the transition between bulkheads and hull/deck as needed, then applied two layers of biaxial tabbing to these various seams.


    

         

   


This wrapped up the major retabbing work at all the existing bulkheads where required, and this structural work would allow me to continue moving the interior reconstruction forward.

I prepared the three cockpit locker lids for the bottom layer of fiberglass, lightly beveling the edges of the new core to ease the transition (I'd cut bevels with a saw before installation, but sanding eased the transition further).  Then, I applied unthickened resin to the surfaces to prepare them for the new fiberglass, and installed the bottom layers of fiberglass on all three hatches.
