19th August 2009 - More ribs and primer

The process of making ribs continues slowly, four complete and one gluing. Similarly the priming seems endless especially as I left out the fuel tank and the panel from the list last time. However, the end is getting nearer. All items except the combing and the fuel tank have been cleaned and at least partially painted so another couple of days should see the priming complete. The primer takes 7 days to completely set so once all the priming is complete I can then start applying top coat to those items where it is needed and that have had the requisite drying time. This is a subset of the items where they are visible or where the better wear resistance of the top coat is useful.
