The naysayers will say you can't see cracks. If applied correctly and not too thick I don't believe that will be a problem. It's great to work with and you can do it indoors. The Eastwood sprayer and paint is much better than the Harbor Freight stuff. I bought an oven for $50 and also made a 4 foot hight oven out of 8 or 10 inch duct for about $15...

I asked the folks around work to let me know if they saw any stoves on the curb with "FREE" signs on them. Within a week I had my oven- for FREE!

I think the EAA chapter 35 has sheet metal brakes in the chapter hangar, but if you're careful and patient you can also do it with hand-held seaming pliers by marking a break line and then working your way down the panel along the line till you have a smooth, even break. I also recommend that you fasten the leading edge of the access panel lest the high Mach speeds pull it away from the airplane. Or maybe if you add a slight break to the leading edge of the panel, it will hug the fabric and prevent the slipstream from getting under the metal and flapping it. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=436771#436771 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
