Prep Canopy Ribs and Firewall For Sealant

 
 
I began to prep the canopy ribs for sealant.  I removed the upper forward fuselage skin.  I taped the notches in the upper firewall so I can apply sealant from inside of the instrument shelf area.  I also applied tape to the canopy ribs so I can apply sealant to the ribs and help contain the mess.  I purchased some additional syringes from Cal Ranch to apply the sealant.  I also purchased some small paper (hot drink) cups to mix the sealant in.  When I have a couple of hours free I will mix and apply a batch.
