The main goal this week, is to get the interior of the doors perimeter painted before the painter calls for the plane. Since I went with the McMaster Carr door seal, I will need to trim back the interior upholstery panel so that it does not overlap with the seam between the door and the cabin cover. That's more area (about 1") than I had perviously allowed/prepped for, and it is necessary to go back and fill/sand/prime that larger area so that it will look nice when painted. But before starting the paint prep, I needed to do some fiberglass work on the aft hinge where I trimmed it (once again) to avoid interferrence with the gas strut and the bracket. I layed up a 2 ply 3 oz. cloth patch, cured it w/ Halogen lights, then sanded it, filed and blended it, and then applied several coats of smooth prime to the door perimeter using a sponge roller (4"). sanded all of that after drying, then mixed up a small amount of primer, and went back and filled some voids and pinholes. Dried/cured then sanded w/ 220 grit. It's now ready for interior paint (after taping off the window). Weather forcast is for thunderstomrs and high winds tomorros so won't et painted til Wed earliest. in between I began the job of cleanup the fuse from all of the dust that accumulated during the door seal prep phase. I got the rear half of the fuse, including the inside dust free, now for the rest of the cabin.
