Well Guys , I am very depressed with what happened today. It was about one
week ago that I shot the finel coats of paint on my KR fusalage, and today I
decided to finish the wing outer panels . I pulled the fusalage out in to
the yard to clear the shop for the wings , in to 85 deg. direct sunlight.
after shooting the last coat on the wing, I went out to play with the
engine, and discovered to my dismay, that I had bubbles under the new paint
in several areas.
After talking to the folks at polyfiber, they said that I had solvent
outgassing from the primer.Now I will admit that I was some what relived
that it wasen't delaminating of the fiberglass,I still have a crappy paint
job now.
They also said that I picked just about the hardest paint to shoot(Navada
Silver), for a novice painter(Me).
So after wasting $250 on silver paint I guess I should conform to everyone
else and paint it white.
I was not completly happy with the paint job before the bubbles now I'm
disgusted with it. I do love the color,but I doubt I have the experence to
get it to look right.
I do not know if I will be ready for Airventure.
Damn, looks like I'm driving again.
Tim
