I'm just saying, primer prep is a real downer. I told myself that I wasn't going to endure the torture of priming a whole bunch of parts during this build. Last time I started with the full sequence, wash, acid etch, alodine, prime. That lasted through the wings. By the end of the fuselage I was doing a scuff, wipe, prime from a can. This time, I said minimal primer. But then Rick goes and posts a bunch of pictures of his beautiful AKZO green interior. Ooh, I like. Ok, so I decided to prime (only, no paint) the interior structure of the -8. I was building along through the first three sheets of plans for the fuselage, having a great time. Finally I had this big stack of parts staring me in the face just screaming for some primer. Ugh, ok. So Monday I spent washing parts. Tuesday I spent etching parts (Prekote this time). Today is Wednesday, and I'm giving them a final wipe down and setting up the primer booth...
I hate primer prep.
If you have any ideas on how to almost triple the CFM output of my little window fan (attic gable fan), for less than a couple hundred bucks, be sure to let us know, it is quite inadequate.
