finished sanding th eother half of the upper cowl w/ 100 grit, and then mixed up some more smooth prime, before spraying it one, I used a tip I reeived from another builder and that was to use a credit card to squeege the primer into the remaining pinholes. I painted on some wet Smooth Prime, and then did the credit card trick, WOW! it worked great. The Smooth Prime dried in minutes and using the credit card eliminates any big build-ups that need to be sanded. Afterward I shot several light coats to ensure coverage, and then sanded everything w/ 220 grit. That finished I switched to 320 grti and finished up. The Upper Cowl is COMPLETE!!! and ready for paint. I called Sam James to find out where my plenum was, I ordered it Jan 11, and it sould have arrived by now. Well true to what i've heard about Sam, he couldn't even find my order and didn't even have it on his production schedule. Finally, he did find the order appologozed profusely and said he'd lay it up on Monday and ship it next Wed! I'm not really looking forward to this based upon what I've heard from 2 other builders who had major issues wit Sam's plenum! It was 95 today in PHX we went from the mis 60's (below normal all winter) to mid 80's-90's (above normal) looks like we're going to miss the sweet part of winter this year!
