I'm a little late in uploading Sunday's work. It was mostly more of the same - priming more parts from the pile. I wasn't actually planning on priming on Sunday because I had a lot of things to do around the house. While I was fixing the mower, of course I walked by the plane to get a wrench though. I paused and thought "but it'll only take 5 minutes," so I grabbed the elevator pushrod, hung it up and hit it with Rustoleum.
Of course, then I figured that I only had a small window of nice weather left, so I'd better prime the rest of the parts! So 5 minutes turned into an afternoon. I finished the rest of the pile, this time using the regular Ekoprime. I'll never go back to the epoxy primer if I have a choice. The Ekoprime is way easier to prep and spray. I'm mostly caught up with priming now, although I'm getting ready to start working on the front deck, which will produce more parts. What I still have left to do is paint all of these parts that will show in the cabin though. I'm not looking forward to having to scuff and clean everything all over again, including the inside of the fuselage itself. I do have to wait for a longer stint of nice weather before I do that though, because ideally the paint is supposed to be kept above something like 70 degrees for 12 hours before it is allowed to cool down.
Just because I wanted to do something productive besides spray primer, I grabbed the ELT mount and attached it behind the baggage bulkhead.
