COCKPIT SEAT REPAIR - NEARING COMPLETION

Over the past week, the seat repair has gotten closer to being complete.  The repair was faired with Interlux 833.  I would have preferred to use a more fine filler, but 833 is what I had, so that's what was used.  In the large area of repair, I had to use several applications to build the area up and provide a relatively flat finish.

After the areas were filled, Interlux 2000E was used as a final filler to take care of minor surface imperfections.  There are currently two coats applied.  We'll see if another coat is needed once  it is dried.  I also did a minor amount of filling between coats with a fine filler to take care of pin-hole size voids in the finish.

One of the hatches had been chipped out along the edges over the years from lines being caught in the hatch while they were closed.  The chips were addressed prior to filling and finishing.  The chips were ground out and new fiberglass was laid up for the repair.
