Van's suggests sanding with 400, then 600 grit "wet or dry " paper. I would add to that - use warm water with a spot of dish washing detergent (not too much, otherwise the paper won't sand). This serves to lubricate the paper, and also clean away the mold release wax. If you sand through your paint, then wash that area off with soapy water, and rinse well with clean. DO NOT use solvents and the likes. They just spread the wax around, if there is any left. Then use an epoxy primer. You should be able to use the high solids primer after that, or simply use epoxy putty to fill pinholes. I wish you well - from a former 'panel-beater'.

EAA WAS about experimental aircraft. EAA is now about sport aviation, as you may notice when you note the various divisions, one for aerobatics, one for antiques and classics, etc. and remember the name of EAA's magazine. The roster of our EAA chapter in Mulino, Oregon, shows about 56 members, with about 27 projects or completed homebuilts, and an equal number of factory built planes. Those who choose to fly factory built planes are just as active and contribute just as much as the homebuilders--more, perhaps, as several of the factory built planes are 4 place planes and flew the majority of young eagles last year. When the Bonanza pilots want to arrive at Oshkosh together, I say, more power to them, it just makes the party bigger! Richard Scott 1941 Interstate Cadet RV-9A Emp.
