| finished sanding th eother half of the upper cowl w/ 100 grit, and then mixed up some more smooth prime, before spraying it |
|
| one, I used a tip I reeived from another builder and that was to use a credit card to squeege the primer into the remaining |
|
| pinholes. I painted on some wet Smooth Prime, and then did the credit card trick, WOW! it worked great. The Smooth Prime |
|
| dried in minutes and using the credit card eliminates any big build-ups that need to be sanded. Afterward I shot several light |
|
| coats to ensure coverage, and then sanded everything w/ 220 grit. That finished I switched to 320 grti and finished up. The |
|
| Upper Cowl is COMPLETE!!! and ready for paint. I called Sam James to find out where my plenum was, I ordered it Jan 11, and |
|
| it sould have arrived by now. Well true to what i've heard about Sam, he couldn't even find my order and didn't even have it on |
|
| his production schedule. Finally, he did find the order appologozed profusely and said he'd lay it up on Monday and ship it next |
|
| Wed! I'm not really looking forward to this based upon what I've heard from 2 other builders who had major issues wit Sam's |
|
| plenum! It was 95 today in PHX we went from the mis 60's (below normal all winter) to mid 80's-90's (above normal) looks like |
|
| we're going to miss the sweet part of winter this year! |
