To mount the center cockpit door, which weighs approximately 35 pounds, a 1.5-inch heavy-duty piano hinge is secured to the cabin top using aluminum backing plates bonded with methacrylate adhesive and reinforced with structural putty.0:40 To ensure uniform window placement across all three cockpit doors, a laser level marks the cut lines, while a track saw and jigsaw create the openings.3:41 An oscillating tool and flathead screwdriver remove the Nidacore core material to create a frame for future acrylic window installation.6:08 Because UV exposure degrades exposed fiberglass and fairing compound, the cabin top and door seams require a protective layer of epoxy primer.7:16 The crew uses TotalBoat TotalFair epoxy fairing compound to fill low spots, sanding with an 80-grit disc and a random orbital sander between applications.10:01 Final installation of the doors and windows awaits the arrival of high-build primer from Alexseal, which will serve as a temporary UV barrier until the final exterior paint job.10:59
