There is another problem with part cured filler. I noticed that the
Smoothprime cracked and peeled off, even though filler could be sanded. It
isn't easy to get accurate mixing with Superfill, I do it by weight,
nearest 1/10th of a gram, most likely cause of my problem was settling
altering the ratio of filler to hardener or resin, the hardener did look a
bit wet.

On the subject of unset filler, does anyone have a good method for removing
filler which is about as hard as chewing gum. I have some all the way down
one of my spars.
Cheers,
Mark.

Fleck Stone is certainly more cost effective, but it does stain readily. Unless
you cover it with enough of a required clear coat which does not stain; raw
it smells like a latex, which we know from home fixup stains, if flat. I find
it very durable, but how much durability and staining matters seemingly depends
upon where in the cockpit you're applying it.
Regards,
Fred F.

Once it's got a couple of clear coats applied then its pretty tough. Based on the
fact that the tunnel on my plane is covered in it and I've dropped tools on
it, scrambled over it while diving into the back of the aircraft and given it
far more abuse than it's going to see in live use I think it's fine.
The exterior clear coat is tougher than the interior clear coat so I'd recommend
you use that.

Troy,
I hope to spray Zolotone in the next month. Be sure to check their website
for good application instructions. I'm using their primer since I think it
will result in better results (I hope more durable!). I'm using my Axis
citation HVLP. They say they've sprayed Zolotone with it. Will let you
know.

I stand corrected, BMA is approved for the kit airplane. Since its not
certified, it cant go in the certified plane (Columbia 300 or 400). Its the
only non certified EFIS approved by Lancair Avionics. If you havent looked
at BMA's web site, do so. I think they are several years ahead of Dynon -
I've been working with Greg for about 4 years & he's had quite a learning
curve. The others are where he was then.
Just my 2 cents worth.
