Stitching and pinking tape

Covering

I finished stitches the obstructed ribs. Karin decided to sit out in the garage and do her bible study while I worked on the ribs. It was really nice. After she was done, we walked over to the yogurt shop and had a yogurt together.

After stitching all the ribs, I covered them with pinking tape. I first applied a layer of glue down that extended about 3/4" off each end. I then applied the pinking tape and, using MEK, wet the material down and smoothing out with my gloved hands. I then continued down the length of the rib and cut the tape about 1/4" from the rear edge. Was able to get both sides of the wing taped.
