Over the last few days I have finished applying the EkoFill and EkoPrime to the left wing and have now sprayed it with the white EkoPoly. This hasn't been simple, it seems that as soon as I get enough paint on to get a gloss runs start to appear. The bottom of the wing actually sprayed up quite nicely but my first attempt at the top was so bad with multiple runs that I washed the paint off completely before it had time to harden - thank goodness for water based paint!Thinking about it, my suspicion is that there had been some surface contamination in areas of the surface. So I sanded the whole wing with 320 grit open coat sandpaper and then washed and rinsed it thoroughly. My next attempt at the top surface was better but I was too sparing with the paint and didn't get a full gloss so this was cut back with the sandpaper to create a key, cleaned with isopropyl alchohol, and then today another coat was applied. This time I got a good gloss. Note the way in which all the fabric edges have completely disappeared. There are a couple of small runs that will need sanding and polishing out but basically the left wing is now finished. I'll let the paint harden for a few days and then I can get on with the right wing.
