I worked on trimming both the slot and the block so the block would drop in easily, but still have a close fit to the sides.
After that I took some scrap fabric and got the slot dressed up. Innegra on the bottom and carbon on the sides with some overlap.
Then I mixed up 5.6 ounce of epoxy - half went to the slot straight and I used a brush to wet out the fabric. The rest got thickened and I coated the block with the slurry. I slipped it in and then waited to see where the remainder needed to be added.
Saran wrap went on and got taped down to smooth out the fabric.
I added the weights to make sure the block did not rise up (but it probably won't because of the way the epoxy was spread out - not too thick in any one spot).
I didn't get to spread a slurry across the bottom like I had hoped (but that nap sure was nice). I'll get that spread in the morning - and perhaps the top deck filled/sealed in the evening tomorrow.
