| Another -10 builder, Gary Speceter advised me about a product called Evercoat METAL GLAZE, i picked some up yesterday. |
|
| this stuff is a thinned body filler, that is specially formulated for Aluminum and fiberglass, as such t makes a perfect toot to use to |
|
| fill the joints between the cabin top and the fuse side and aft skins. It also adheres to some plastics, so I tested it around the right |
|
| rear window in a section to see if it would fill the area between the fiberglass lay-up and the fine line tape. IT worked perfectly! so |
|
| I'm using it to blend the fiberglas tapes that I applied to the windows. I'm pretty happy with how this works, it is catalyzed and |
|
| sets up to sand w/i 30 minutes and that make it much easier to work with. Because it 'flowable' it is also very easy to apply very |
|
| thin coats and to feather edges, etc. I Also picked up some "BLOCKING' sanding blocks. They are a very hard high density foam |
|
| rubber block (I got 3 different sizes) that you wrap your sand paper around and while they 'give' a little they also provide a firm |
|
| even sanding base. It looks like they are working pretty well so far. I'm going to prime the entire cabin cover w/ SmoothPrime |
|
| after I've finished all of the filling/blending work. I'll use the spary paint ducting them to see how 'even' it's turning out. etting this |
|
| cabin cover, windscreen, and doors preped is going to take several days!!!!!!! |
