| The "mystery machine" gets a shiny coat of epoxy.

| The "not so mystery machine" still looks like it did last time I was
there.
|
| Today was when I took care of the butt joints on plywood that Bob did.
I took a flat piece of 1/8 ply and a 1x2. The plywood stays, the 1x2 is
what the staple grabs onto until the epoxy dries.

| This is a good example of what I was doing. You might have noticed
that before today this seam was overlapping. I took a straightedge and
eyeballed the center (I missed by over an inch) from the nose to the
cockpit. I marked it, and cut through the plywood with a utility knife.
This is not noticeably slower than using a saw, and you have no gap. On
second thought I clamped the bottom piece to the top one so the board
wouldn't jiggle and make the line crooked.
