I don't remember seeing the actual dates for the Baraboo Bash. I suspect that it
is July 24 & 25 with departure for OSH on the 26th. Correct??
Thanks

Excellent idea as sanding guide. I was just quoting my experience.

Ken, the idea of the spray can paint is to use it as a sanding guide. It will be
completely sanded off and sealed before top coating. I and many others have
done this for many years with no problems. Jim C.

Word of caution. Do not use any spray can paint if using an MEK based paint over.
It'll lift. I believe Aero-thane is MEK based.

After you spray the primer on, using a fast dry spray can of black, fog a
light mist coat over the urethane. This will be a guide coat for sanding.
Sand with 400 grit wet paper until all the black is gone. Jim C

Two coats seemed to fill the weave with the roller and foam brush. Set
epoxy has the hardness of formica and was very hard to sand smooth, but
it's smooth now and the weave is not exposed. You're right, that urethane
primer is very costly. Eric

fiberglass weave. San d between coats, it adds less weight and costs less
than urethane primer. When it is filled and sanded smooth, spray one cross
coat of urethane primer. Jim C

Dave, Lookin' good! What did you use to apply to resin with? I read the
West System manual and followed their recommendation to spread the resin
initially with a roller (I used 3/16" nap) followed with a 3" foam brush
pulled through the wet resin chordwise to break any bubbles and level the
coat. Worked very well. Only needed 2 coats.
Eric - in Kalamazoo waiting for warmer weather to apply paint primer to
the wings. Can't decide between urethane or epoxy. Maybe I'll do one of
each.
