if you Have aerothane Paint and your sure you can take a sharp scribe and
cut the paint only on the fabric get under the edge of it and peel it off Trim
the hole up good and even make a patch two inches outside the hole edge all
the way around if you have a Poly Fiber manual it explains it all there .
as far as how to paint without spraying, I hope someone else on the list
can help you area to make it look good with another method of painting
without spraying it.

Open question for everyone. I have to repair about five small holes in the
ailerons. I brought the wing into the living room. I ran Ellery's test of
using MEK to double check the finish. Mek would not dissolve the paint, but did
dissolve the vinyl glove I was wearing. The paint is Aerothane. I have the
book and kit from the Millers, but I would appreciate any and all tips on
repairs. I have to use a brush for all stages, as I have nowhere safe to spray
isocyanates. The neighborhood is too close to risk airbornes. I am now going
down to the drug store for latex gloves. The guy at the hardware store thought
his were latex, but they weren't marked. Luckily I only got a couple of pairs.
I hope I got the right color- Madrid Red. I don't care what kind of light
I used before ordering, there were four really close reds.

Bill, for refinishing, if you're in a relatively warm area, so the paint
will flow before it sets, use a foam roller to apply enough coats to satisfy
your eye that it has completely covered the primer. Let it dry and use wet
or dry sandpaper to remove any stippling and polish with compound to match
the local area.

Bill, should have added it's the little 3" foam roller you want. They can be
found at any box store and have a nice radius on the edge so the paint
feathers out.
Also a warning, if you use Smooth Prime be sure to use adequate protection
for skin and respiratory contact unless you are absolutely sure you aren't
sensitive to the cross linker. My friend Wayne has gotten so sensitive to it
he had to farm out the priming of his LongEZ and even then broke out in
blisters whenever he came in contact with any that wasn't completely cured.
It could be dry to the touch yet still outgassing and he would get a
reaction.

Thanks for asking yes! We plan to run the Iditarod this year! Have had
to keep the dogs in the deep freeze he! He! He! If there is enough
demand I would consider making molds and offering them to any one
interested. Again right now my trailer is my hanger and the plane is
folded and put in the trailer every time I fly.( I hate it but It's a
kolb and it is possible) The strut faring goes on real simply. Just put
it on the strut slide it down, put the wing together secure the pin.
Slide the faring up to the wing to cover the bolts streamlining the end
of the strut and Velcro on the underside of the wing and the top of the
faring hold it in place. Takes all of 2 seconds to put on. To tie the
plane down simply pull the faring down from the wing to expose the
mounting point for tie down rope or chain

I cleaned up the first hole. Only trouble was I didn't use a sharp enough scribe-
I was afraid to damage the fabric. Now that I know, it will go easier. Foam
roller is a good tip- I think I have one.
I just started getting the live version of the List. Got tired of waiting.

How did streamlining the struts get rid of the vibration - did you
use the extruded aluminum struts?
No - I just had some metal (T6061 I think) bent for me at a shop with
an 8 foot brake.
Had them cut it to shape, then roll both edges a little to partially
go around the strut. After that - bend it in the break. I riveted it on
the struts and with the rolled edges, it fits pretty tight. Been on
there for 10 years.
It stopped all the vibration and hardly weighs anything. But there
are all kinds of
ways to do it. Many are more aerodynamic than mine, but most weigh a lot more.
I would think that they all would stop the vibration.
