Fairing, Day 492: The Life Span of a Lowly Shim

Day 492. Still working on the port side of Frame #4.

To a lesser degree, I'm still working to flatten that high area on the keel. Slowly.



The fairing work on Frame #4 also clearly foretells that there is much fairing work to be done on the floor battens.


And this is currently all that remains of the  shims I so carefully installed 3 years ago:


(The "before" pictures)...




Oh well. I knew this could potentially happen when I installed them. I still don't regret adding them. I'm no fine craftsman, to be sure... but nonetheless I do want my work to be as accurate as I can get it. If that means adding shims, so be it.

Even if only a sliver remains, if anything at all.
