This week the horizontal stabilizer parts were abraded with ScotchBrite, cleaned with acetone and labeled in Sharpie blue.
I built a spray table from 1/2 inch PVC. Wire cloth was stretched between two sides. The sides with the legs rotate so the whole thing folds flat for storage. The table was placed on a plastic tarp on our lanai (that’s a screened back porch for you northerners).
Internal surfaces were painted with SEM self etching rattle-can primer. I chose one part primer for these interior parts for simplicity of process. Our 66 year old Globe Swift has no interior primer in the fuselage and the metal still shines. We’ll move up to two part epoxy primer for the cabin interior and other wear and tear areas.
It’s great to keep up with you guys while your in FL. It looks like the RV is coming along pretty well. Be prepared for some differences of opinion when you each read the instructions. Love all of the photos and the comic relief.
Have a great Thanksgiving…
