Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Sanding wings

Dave:

After messing with boats a bit and a few drums of West behind me.  

I find it sands best if I remove any traces of blush with ammonia solution.  

I start with 80 grit.  

An airfile is my friend.  

Followed by an electric DA with ventilated paper and attatched vacumn.

Normally I dont wet sand until I am almost "there"

Have a beer and stand back and look at it with a light,  a quick shot of dark 
primer makes it easier to see the flaws when your almost "there."

Having said all that.  I just shot Cecils wings GMC "Bright Yellow" with a 
very cursory wet sand before.  They are not very "glasslike" and I will join the

flying but not perfect club here within a month.  I would like to build 
another set of wings myself.  

So whatever you do you can park next to me and your wings will look great!
