Cowl priming and sanding
Yep, I decided to dive into priming and sanding the cowl. The surface is pretty sloppy with pin holes and imperfections that have to be filled in an iterative process. I’m using UV Smooth Prime from ACS. The first coat I rolled on with a foam roller. That worked pretty well. I think I’m going to spray the next coat. I’m just aiming for close enough with this since it is a very unpleasant process. I’ll pay somebody to take it “the last mile” when it goes to paint.
The frustration of sanding for hours at a time deserved a nice flight so Tanya and I launched in a DA-40 for some pattern practice. What could be more relaxing.
