Brief Description: reprimed skins, began riveting
|
|
Reprimed skins, dimpled skeleton of HS and VS, utilizing the not-so-fancy device pops made for me to get into a few tight corners. Began riveting the HS assembly, completing the rear spar. Realized I had countersunk the HS810 and 814 angles on the wrong side. After countersinking on the correct side, attempted to rivet anyway, which did not prove smart. Called Vans and re-ordered the two pieces.
Note: mixed three 2/3 cup scoops of primer with about a half of the 2/3 scoop of distilled water. Turned pressure up a bit from 20 psi and found the spray to flow much more evenly. Also noticed how dirty the white primer becomes when handling, clamping, riveting. Will perhaps get another color, maybe light gray, next purchase. I still like the Stewart Systems.
