<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I'm new to the group. One year into an ES and
having just completed my FB wing kit, I'm anxious to get to the fuselage.
However, before tearing down the bench to make room, I thought it would be a
good idea to do at least some of the finish work on the underside of the wings.
Per Carsten (Lancair ES tech) I applied 3 coats of WLS primer with a household
medium nap roller. Upon sanding with a long board and shorter devices where
necessary, I'm left with a variety of surfaces ranging from smooth e-glass with
primer between the threads to areas of minor depressions where the paint surface
was low to practically untouched areas with a full thickness of paint (and a
very irregular surface.) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I'm making the
following assumptions: 1) I should fill in the various low areas to make the
wing 'appear' flat to my 32" sanding board - even on the bottom of
the wing.; 2) whatever I do from this point, subsequent coats of paint will be
sprayed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>My questions are: Are my
assumptions correct? To fill the low areas can I or should I use more primer,
micro, 'Super Fil', or some other filler or glazing paste such as 'Feather
Fil"? How large of a pinhole or thread hashmark will a sprayed-on
coat of primer fill?</FONT></DIV>
<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size=2>I'm hoping someone says Super fill and another
sanding once or twice will get me to a pre-spray stage. I've got that
product and primer on hand and could actually make some progress this
weekend.</FONT> </BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I just want to get on to the fuselage but can't see doing this
sanding on my back. Bob Foxwell-Minneapolis</FONT></DIV>
