Brief Description:  Fuselage bulkhead prep

I had been waiting for a warmer day and today was it...light winds, temperature around 70, can't ask for more than that in January! While the winds were fairly light (for Kansas), I decided to prime the parts in the garage just to make things simple. With the door open, there was plenty of ventilation, and the walls provided good windbreak for the light winds. After the usual preparation, I began spraying. Unfortunately, my first mix was a bit thick (the primer has thickened a little over the years), and after one pass, with the requisite wait for drying, I began shooting silly string out of the gun. Ten minutes, changing guns twice, a bit of frustration, and finally an additional dose of thinner, solved the problem and the pieces came out fine. I won't be sad when my priming days are behind me!!
