Ditto... that's a solid victory over a tedious fight! Good on ya!

Productive day... but long. I measured up the area not covered by the new dorsal and built a clamping board from Masonite. Then I sanded the edge thin in order to make the new composite scarf joint. Mix up some $600 a gallon german epoxy and layout a bunch of carbon fiber (cf) remnants and 3 oz fiberglass and wet them out on carrier sheets.. i also cut the peel ply at this point. I applied a release layer of plastic to the stabilizer and a tack coat of goo to the plastic then peel ply first. Next is the layup of glass and cf directly to the peel ply. Install the dosal- cleco'd in place up front. Layup the outside of the dorsal and peel ply.. lastly install the clamp board with thin packing foam to distribute the pressure holding the dorsal flaps that mount to the sides of the vertical against the interior and exterior layup.... turn up the thermostat and drive home..... Contacts removed coke bottle bottom glasses on, recliner engaged, and feet up... tonight will be like Christmas eve as a ten year old, I can't wait to unrap it!
