Bulkhead C

Bulkhead C was made up from two pieces to reduce cut-off. The pieces were scarfed between the doublers. I glued scarfing and doublers in one work step. That was not a good idea. After the resin had set I saw a gap between scarfing and doubler. SH...T!

I better should first scarfing, afterwards planning and only then glueing the doublers. I fixed the mishap by widen the gaps using a Multimaster saw. Afterwards I filled the gaps with epoxy resin.
