Regarding "HOURS and HOURS of sanding...". Can some of the sanding be done w/ a
conture type sander versus by hand? How much Superfil did you use and who sells
it for a reasonable price? Does it have a long shelf life?
Thanks in advance for your response!

Subject: Re: Cabin top too rough?
Chris, no pictures came through on my end.
Unfortunately your experience matches mine exactly!!!!!!! The interior
of the cabin cover looks like a relief map of the Himalayas. It took
HOURS and HOURS of sanding/ filing, filling, and repeat to get an
acceptable solution. If you are considering using an overhead
plenum/duct for air vents, lights etc, you can save a small amount of
that work. One lesson I learned (too late) was to avoid using Bondo as a
filler. While it has the advantage of 'setting up quickly to sandable
stage. Apparently it has a history of shrinking and opening up cracks.
Unfortunately the effects are not realized/seen for a couple of years.
Gary Spectecter put me on to 2 products that I'm using. Superfil , which
is an epoxy based filler with microbaloons already mixed, and Superprime
which is a primer/pinhole filler. The only downside to the SuperFil is
that it requires an 8 hr cure time vs the minutes for the auto body
fillers.
If you haven't started on your doors your in for more of the same. come
to think about it ALL of Van's fiberglass/composite parts require an
inordinate amount of time to get them to a finished stage with
acceptable appearance.

I used every tool I had in the shop. including a belt sander! I also
used a rasp and coarse files to address some of the large ridges which
result from the vacuum bagging. (ruined several files!) I did virtually
all of my sanding by hand. SuperFil comes in 2 sizes and it's
relatively expensive, I ordered the larger size which ships as 3 one
gallon buckets. (1 part A; 2 part B). I bought it from Wicks Aircraft
supply. And ordered the Smooth Prime (1 gal) at the same time. I've
primed my doors and the inside of the Cabin cover and have gone through
about 1/2 of the SmoothPrime.
I don't know about it's shelf life. I hope to not have to worry about that.

Make sure when addressing one concern, you do not create others. In addition to
what David said, have you plumbed a bypass valve into these under-seat filters?
The stock Vans setup includes a bypass valve should the filter become clogged.
This is unlikely in your dual setup, but should be considered.

| Subject: | Cabin top too rough? |
Well, after wondering about whether the cabin top was too rough, I just
went with it. I think that the roughness is cosmetic, and while I might
be spending a bunch of hours smoothing, I'm going with it. by the by, I
got the cabin top fit to the fuselage, and the fit is excellent. I
think that smoothing and shaping with power tools was definitely the way
to go for me. It might be that all my time working with shaping steel
and fabricating working on race cars has finally paid off. I'm not sure
I'd recommend that for everyone, as it's easy to take off too much, but
for me, it's how I'm used to working. Your mileage may vary. Also, I
spent some time working on my website. I finally scrapped the software
I was using, and went a different way. I had to completely redo
everything, but now it's easy to update, and works pretty well. anyway,
you can check my cabin top fit here

Congratulations! I was thinking about you last week as I was laid up after pulling

Witte Industries in South Dakota is a new RV10 Builder... Ask for Michael.

You may have luck with Precision H2O in Spokane, WA also, but they are more

I know of a small one person shop. I know she laser's primarily
acrylics but is accustomed to very small quantity requirements and likes
the small niche markets.
I'll ask on her experience and willingness for aluminum (I'm sure her
laser has the wattage needed) and AutoCad in the next day or two unless
someone comes up with something better. I've forgotten where you are,
I'm in Fergus Falls MN.
I'm not even close to this stage so I'd need to know approximate size
and gauge of the parts.

Deems, I have a water jet and a CNC router. Call me @ 757 236 5110 and I'll
discuss the pros and cons of the approaches to cutting the panel with each
of these machines. I have cut test panels out of scrap High pressure
laminate in order to tweak the panel layout prior to cutting the final
panel. I created a frame designed with four subpanels so that I could remove
one section without removing the others. Good Luck David O Boone 40138
