I wish I had known about Nevilles advice on how to achieve a perfect
bond with minimum weight ;
Have a trial fit with parcel tape stopping the flox mixture ( fairly
stiff) sticking to the top surface. Then, when it has cured ,remove
the top, tidy up the fillet of flox mix over the ribs then stick the
top on for good with a thin layer of relatively runny flox-redux
over the now-perfect fit of cured flox mix filling the gap between
the ribs and the top skin.
Hope that version of Nevilles advice is clear (and accurate!)- one
other thing I would do if bonding on the top skin again is to use
clecos rather than weight it down - I ended up with a slight lip
needing filling despite using a lot of weight over the square
section tubing recommended in the manual.

originally is around as he also had some good advice about dealing
with the mass balance weight boxes and trailing edge which I did
follow, but rather late in the process making it more difficult than
it need have been - give me a call If I can be of any help.

Bill - thanks very much for your advice. I recall now that my
inspector also suggested putting in temporary self-tapping screws or
some such to hold it together rather than the weights, before we got
on to the upside-down suggestion. I'll check the archives again for
Neville's original posting.
