My A&P and I were talking about whether or not to paint first, then put the sealant on, or to seal them, and then mask and paint. Any comments?

BTW, I figured out what was off with my mixture cable and it was the little clamp that holds the mixture cable right before it actuates the lever on the carb. The rubber insert had deteriorated and fallen out and the mixture cable was just sliding in the sleeve. I replaced the rubber bit and now get the full range of motion from the mixture (before it wouldn't lean all the way and thus the failure to fully stop the engine at shut down).

I didn't have the left eye done so that I could see up close without bi-focals. The results of the right eye were pretty much as predicted. I got the flares at night, there was a little residual astigmatism that couldn't be fixed, blah, blah, blah. Well, I heard about a new form of LASIK called Wave Front Technology. Look it up on the net. About a month ago, I asked my Optometrist if Wave Front would work for me. He said NO. So I went to a specialist, the guy who did the LASIK in the first place. Dr Douglas Steele in Westlake Village. He used a new machine called LADAR. It measured my eye and sure enough, there were the spots that caused the flairs and the astigmatism. That was last Tuesday. On Friday, I had the LADAR touch-up. All I can say is "It's FREAKIN' amazing!" In one day, all the little nits I had about LASIK are gone. No flares at night, no distortions, And, he says it will continue to get more clear as it heals. So, the right eye is 20/20 now and may get better,,,, say 20/18 to 20/15. The left eye is 20/40 to 20/50, all depends on how tired I am. If you are thinking about LASIK, I would highly recommend it. But, get the Wave Front Technology version. The problems with lights at night are not there and it's a lot more accurate. It isn't cheap. So, if you're looking for the lowest bidder, consider that you might not get a second chance. LADAR is $2100 for one eye at Steele's office. Gary Here is another topic that I got banned from GG=20= for talking about
