While the second horizontal base layers were still setting up, I added fillets at the transition from the windscreen and fuselage to the canopy skirt to fill the gap. I applied a strip of packing tape to the back of the canopy bow to hold the epoxy/flox/dye mixture in place and reduce the sanding and shaping needed after it cured. My guess on the fillet size was spot on: they came out just right, neither underfilled nor overfilled, and were flush after sanding the corners smooth. Next, I’ll apply the over-the-bow fairing layers and the filling fillet around the base of the windscreen.
