The workshop is prettty much complete, just waiting for a few more tools. The crate with the empennage arrived a week ago, but it's had to wait whilst the workshop was finished. The workshop is 20 feet from the sea, so priming everything as early as possible is essential. I have been advised to use a two-pack etch prime, then a 2 pack epoxy primer, inside and out as soon as I can. I have a large spray booth in the garage with balance flow ventilation (fire and spark proof blowers) and an air supplied spay hood is on the way!
The contents of the packs were in perfect condition, and the only thing missing was a single 'pop rivet'.
