Which means absolutely nothing but I wanted to be first... and perhaps last. Happy 10/10/10 Bill "seeing the beginning of flight" Watson ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:44:18 PM PST US From: "Les Kearney" Subject: RV10-List: Reinforcing Door Holes Hi In a week or so my doors will go for painting. Before this happens I'd like too reinforce the screw holes that attach the doors to the hinges. It has been suggested that I use countersunk washers (which I will) held in place with thinned epoxy. I am not sure if this is over kill, but to protect the paint from chipping and the washers from discolouring, I was thinking of putting a layer of thin glass cloth over the washers first. Has anyone done anything like that? Am I being a touch to anal? Inquiring minds need to know.

Wait until the paint is thoroughly hardened before driving the screws tight. Linn On 10/10/2010 6:41 PM, Les Kearney wrote: > > Hi > > In a week or so my doors will go for painting.

I'm having a hard time thinking how the screws will fit the countersunk with glass over them. Also why don't you just epoxy the washer on after spraying a self etching primer on the washers?, paint them and there should be no reason that they would chip. I have found, since we are using the same primer, that the DTM wash primer has worked better for me with pieces than the 988 has however.
