Having to take off a wing to slosh away a weeping spar I've started the SB. 
I envy reading accounts of how easy some people seem to find it. I had no 
trouble fitting the phenolic but am having a miserable time trying to get 
the three bid in with my farmers' fingers. Any tricks out there that can be 
offered would be greatly appreciated.

[Rather than attempting to layup a 3-BID sandwich between plastic and then
trying to work it all in behind the new phenolic brace, you might find it
easier to lay up 1-BID at a time.  I've found that when working in a
difficult area the hardest part is getting the air bubbles out from
beneath a thick layup, so I paint the area to be glassed with epoxy and
lay the 1st BID in dry, working the epoxy up through the glass with a little
chip brush.  Each subsequent layer goes down nice and smoothly with much
less  aggravation overall.  I realize this means that you'd have to do
six individual layups, but in reality you could really do a top and bottom
with each cycle, and if you let each one setup a bit before going on
to the next one, the whole process would be a lot less frustrating.  Just
a thought.
