Hi Again,
I'm still mulling over how many of the attach fittings I want/need to disassemble for inspection from the wings and CS spar. At the very least I plan to remove the two WA-2-5 (lower plates on CS spar, starboard and port) which showed signs of water exposure, inspect 'non viewable' regions, and go from there. I tried to begin that today, but my Radio Shack thermometer only went up to 148 deg F then stopped, so I need to get another so I can get it up to but not over about 100 deg C).
Regarding the missing 2 plies UNI: my strakes are already 'done', but I'll plan to cut into the tank about 1" as shown in the attached picture, to allow the double wrap of the UNI around the whole spar and over the screw heads. (After the UNI wrap, I'll micro in a replacement "PART A" first, with a 45-deg bevel (so it won't "fall" into the tank) and then put a few plies of BID on top. (Similar for the bottom of the tank). I'll then do the same with a replacement "PART B" on the sidewall of the strake.
Thanks,
