So, the canopy is cut and I get it all set to put the sikaflex to work. Tape the frame and canopy, sand the glued areas, cleaner, primer dried, put canopy in position...puncture the 295uv tube and it's WHITE. They sent the wrong flippin color. White, just isn't going to get it when I had my frame and rollover bar powder coated black...you know, for the black sikaflex and primer.
So, my question for those who know more about this sikaflex than I can find online is...what now? The primer will have been on at least 48 hours by the time I can get new 295uv here...do I clean the primer with the cleaner and reprime the frame and canopy? Sand it all off? I thought I read somewhere that this stuff can't be double coated. Do I need to pull all the tape off?
If you heard a loud noise from the east side of Denver a few minutes ago..it was me going a bit ballistic. I'm better now.....no I'm not. Dammit!
The airplane factory is temporarily closed...but the bar just opened! Cheers!
