When bonding the door halves, do you use cab-o-sil in all areas including where you use the glass cloth in the cranium and other cavities, or is it just epoxy and cloth in those areas? Door bonding today. The paint looks as if it came out pretty good on the canopy. Man that SmoothPrime is nice stuff. It seems that basically you roll it on, and then sand most of it off, since it doesn't roll smoothly, but it acts as a very hard, thin, body filler along with pinhole filler....and it's got a tenacious grip.

How much do you need for the project? I'd sure rather get a quart than a gallon+.

I think I've heard reference to 3 quarts doing a whole airplane, but it sure doesn't seem like if you roll it on that this stuff goes too far. I can see easily using 1 QT for the project as a whole, possibly 2. Depends on how much other filler you use too I'm sure.

I drive a cheap 10 year old car...buy 'em when they're "new" at 100,000 miles+. Don't spend lots of cash on other things, etc. In my opinion, going into a plane purchase this big can be awful touchy if you have any payments beyond a house payment to make. But, a real cool thing would be finding a higher paying job that you actually LIKE.

We doubled our money on the 6 which is now paying for the 10 outright. On firemans wages its what we have done ,that way you dont eat into household money.
