Brief Description:  Clear Coat of upper wing

Spent the last few days Clear Coating the upper wing. All wood needs to be coated to protect it from moisture. The Clear Coat is a 2-part epoxy so has a pot life of about 45 minutes so I made several batches and used narrow "plumbers brushes" to careflly paint each and every rib and spar! Tedious work but it looks so good when it is done! It brings out the wood colour, especially the mahogany ply pieces. A total of 35 grams for each glue batch seemed to be enough for me to use in 40 minutes and this was enough to coat 2 ribs and the spars between these ribs. Still need to flip the wing and coat the surfaces I couldn't get to from above.
