Pic of the NAPA prime and surface cleaner that I purchased for the small jobs. Need to use a respirator with this stuff - self etching primer contains an acid that roughs of the surface of he metal, allowing the primer to adhere to bare metal. The process involves sparying the part with the surface cleaner, wiping it dry, then air blowing it dry, then applying the primer. Takes about 15 minutes to dry to the point that you can handle the part.
This site was created to provide friends and family with a vehicle to track my efforts to build a Van's RV 8 Aircraft kit. The dream began in the Summer of 2008. The actual building began in 2009, with the arrival of the empennage or tail kit. I will periodically update the site with photos and comments about my progress.
