Akas (bolt holes)

The thing went so and so since we used an excessively thick putty (resin + silica) which could not flow freely in the space between the bolts and the oversize holes, so we had to recoat several holes (two more hours last evening). Here are a couple of pics of the rig. However, the bolts came out (relatively) easily thanks to the plastic tape wrap.

And here's a pic of one of the coated holes

At least, now we know how to do it for the next set of aka beams.

Total work time to date: 544 hours
