Another day of filling and sanding

Filled some more of the damage with glue, also sanded down the trimmed clips.

Also had a thought, by rotating the clips by 180 the frames will be in the correct position as a non trimmed face will now butt against the frame. The hole alignment might be a tiny bit out if for some reason they weren't perfectly square but as they where drilled using a drill press I am confident they will be ok.

Also picked up some replacement nuts and bolts for the ones that were damaged during extraction.

Hopefully in about 36 hours I can begin frame installation again.

I also started work on a jig to assist in cutting the notches for the battens. Mk 1 didn't quite work out as the ply I used was too thick, but the concept is ok. I will develop it further over the coming days.
