What did you mean by this?

"6 hrs Epoxy and glass beads to fair vertical stabilizer and rudder."

Were you filling low spots, or did you build up a lip at the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer to make a fairing to cover the leading edge of the rudder?

Thank you for documenting this project. I prefer to soar, but I also love working on gliders and may take on a refinish project someday. Just like teaching the next generation to fly, we need to spread this skill too.

Faired the surface with epoxy and glass beads. When you takeoff the coating you will find not all is flat.
