Window 'dressing'

I don't know the offical term, but I call it window 'dressing'.  Filling the gap between the edge of the joggle and the window edge.  That gap that us builders take so much time to get right.

I received the fuselage back from the paint shop first.... so the starboard side window and two top deck windows were 'dressed'.

Standard process.  Clean out the joggle, tape, cut with fresh blade (use thick tape... easier to cut), squirt in the silpruf, smooth out with tongue depressor.






3 done... 4 more to go.  Front window went in today, so that job is a week away at least.  Doors should be back next week.  My back hurts just thinking about this.

Oh, and I silprufed around the lift points too...
