Have you got the capping strips on the bulkheads and the balance weight
guides?
Way I do it is do splash layups where the bulkheads etc will bond to the
top skin. After cure cleco on the top and flox the strips to the
bulkheads, wait for the flox to cure then crack the cap strips off the
top skin and take the top off. Now you can do the corner layups in
comfort. When you finally Redux on the top, you can redux on the cap
strips and not have to worry about the corner layups.
Have a look at Paul Stewart's pictures on the Flyer website.
