After about an hour, it got a bit too cold and it was getting late enough to call it quits for the night. I brought the plane into the shop - under the shop lights. It's weird how your eyes adjust, you are now able to see the surface differently, your able to view the surface as more of a whole. I noticed I may be less than half done with the surface prep. Looks like I'll need at least another one hour session to get all the way down to the weave over 100% of the airframe.

The fuse went back on the scales, I am now +3.3 oz. wow - I am thinking that I could be at +3 oz or maybe slightly better for the glass - and that my friends would be "super awesome". I'll be back on her tomorrow. At this point I am not in too big of a hurry, my paint booth is an unheated 2-car garage (really not that big of a problem here is the southeast USA) and there is a major winter storm coming and it's going to be too cold to paint for a couple days. That's ok, I've got some graphics to cut and ship...

till the next time.....

Cheers!
