Oct 17, 2020     Clean, prep, prime - (3.5 hours)       Category: Ext. Finish
Disconcerting to find the spoiler was glued shut while inspecting the primed top of the port wing. Used three or four box cutter blades inserted under the lip of the spoiler to find and gently break the epoxy seal. Inserted a plastic spacer to hold the spoiler open during application of the second coat.
Scrubbed underside starboard wing surface with Scotchbrite & acetone, wiped residue with paint prep solvents. Lightly brushed the previously primed top surface of the port wing with a Scotchbrite pad.
Installed three missed rivets in the port side wing tip.
Mixed 12 oz of Optiflow epoxy primer & activator to finish the first coat on the bottom of the starboard and and apply a second coat to the top of the port wings.
Shot a yellow color coat to six inspection covers.
Trimmed foam board anti-rodent cover close to the shape to use as a template to cut an aluminum sheet. Plan is to create a more durable anti-rodent wing end cover to block any critter capable of creating a nest inside the wings.
