Prime Finish






I started scotchbriting the fusalage friday, this should take a couple of days work through alodinining the skins. It took about a half day + to prime the other wing and after it cured somewhat I moved it to the house. I had to close off the back room as the solvent evaporation was getting a bit much, and I didn't think my mother in law would appreciate the cheap high her cockatiel was getting off the fumes...

I'll prime, if I can, the fusalage in the garage, sans the paint booth which I disassembled to make for some turn around space, so I could get the Elantra station wagon to pass inspection this year. Boy, with that paint booth out of there the garage is starting to look cavernous. Looks like a lot of rain coming our way, so I'll use the time to work on prepping the skins of the fusalage. If I can get the fusalage primed and back in the house before the snow flies hard we'll declare it a successful season.
