RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread
Yea I don't like the 205 faster hardener, seems like it make me hurry too much, the 206 is what works better for me.
What Mike and I are suggesting here works for us. You need to decide on what products and methods work well for you. Although you can follow mine or Mikes steps to a tee and get excellent results.
So what's next - surface prep and primer base.
I will block sand the MBs and fiberglass base with starting with 150, working thru 220 finishing with 320.
I will be using PPG K-36 available in small quantities from Radio South or at your local paint store in Qts. The first coat will be rolled on with my handly 2" foam roller, I will also roll the chin and cowl after an application of BVM pin hole filler.
Rolling the primer is a great to push the primer into any pinholes....
That will be block sanded off and a second coat will be sprayed at a 50% reduction.
So stay tuned it will be a couple days before those steps will my base cures good and hard.....
In the mean time here is a sneak peak of what's ahead - (this is a shot of the red plane after the first coat of primer was almost completely blocked)
GO PACKERS !!!!!!
