Hi All,

had a really great day for sanding primer, wind gusts to 25 mph really help to keep the dust away....

I spent almost 4 hours block sanding, sanded off about 90% of all that primer I rolled on yesterday. Caught a couple high spots and sanded through the cloth in a few spots. Not a big deal as I'll just do little patches here and there. As this is my personal plane I rather spend a little more time here and there and have a better end product anyhow....

The big deal about this phase is you really start developing the plate flatness that I spoke about. The plane feels great and I also sanded off a bit more of the micro balloons. I did most of the work with 150 grit. Once I get my patches done I'll feather those in and go over it with 220. It really seems like I am on the light side of things here and I did really like that new primer gun. I will most likely shot a final coat of primer and finish sand that with 400 grit for my color base.

looks like I never primed it
