Completed Spar Assembly - Section 13




Today, I completed the spar assembly section in the plans. Learned how to mix and use Sherwin Williams P60-G2 primer. I am only priming the mating surfaces as suggested by Jim Cone. Cleaned the surfaces I intended to prime using Acetone, then applied the primer to each mating surface with a small throw away foam brush. After priming and allowing to dry, attached the angles, built yesterday to the spar with the pneumatic rivet puller. The riveter, purchased from Avery, worked very well. Used a small wedge to reach the tight spaces as shown on the EAA web site videos.

Time - 6 hours
