Next day noticed a huge run at the lower corner; so after much sanding and repainting its okay. Older eyes don't see things as well any more. > On January 30, 2018 at 5:18 PM Steven Dortch wrote: > > no need to point out making sure the aluminium ( I spelled it the British way) needs to be clean and dry.

I am starting to paint the aluminium cowlings and metal parts now. Fuselage and tail surfaces are all done, painted, assembled and cables adjusted. Wings have primer on them (done just before the fires) but still need more. Now its too cold so may be the first spring task. Some sort of engine cowling has to be done yet... > On January 30, 2018 at 6:24 PM Chris Tracy wrote: > > Jim > Have been able to get back to work on the Piet since the fires? > Chris > > Try the top-rated email app https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=MailPP_sig_Dec17&af_sub1=E-mail&af_sub2=YGrowth&af_sub3=US_Email_MailPP_Sig_V3 > > > > > On Tue, Jan 30, 2018 at 5:12 PM, Jim Boyer > > wrote: > > > > > > Thank you Steve; I got 3 cans today and will be using it tomorrow.
