Tag part two

To put a bottom on the tag box I cut a piece of 1/4 ply wide enough to fit between the braces, and slid it in. Holding it in place I traced the shape of the skin and cut.












I glued it in place, set my clamps to spread , and held it in place.













Added some fiberglass resin to coat the top, and filleted the bottom.













I hid the compartment vent in front of the tag (the battery goes in this compartment). When stapling this panel on I clamped the bottom so it bowed upward (figured the water would flow out).











Once glued and stapled, remove metal and fiberglass.
