S/N 140188
Hello from Minnesota. I am new to the site. Happy to have received my empennage crate via Old Dominion unharmed. Upgrading the lighting in my shop and have the Van's airfoil practice project to work on before trying the real thing. Not quite sure about priming in the winter here?

Welcome to VAF Rick, you'll find this site very helpful

Hey Rick, hello too from Nova Scotia.
You and I will have about the same challenges regarding priming. I think I'll build a shelf near a window, put a fan on it, enclose an area including the fan out of 1/4 plywood to make a temporary spray booth, and just open and close the window as required. For over half the year, I'll just have to accept the extra heating bill! I'm pretty sure I'm going to use AKZO so there are some health hazards to consider. I hear a lot about explosion proof fans too but I'm no expert there. Oh, and what Ron B. said above. |
Hi Al, a paint booth sounds like the way to go, maybe with hinged corners to be able to stow it away when not in use. I bought a gallon of P60G2 self-etching primer and intend to spray some test pieces outside this week to see if I like it. Since priming seems the least enjoyable part, I bought a 3M Accuspray to try to minimize cleanup and solvent use. Will be interesting to see how it works. There are certainly plenty of dangerous chemicals in all of these primers.
