Spent time this week preparing for the big two week building push expected during Rich’s visit in early March. I fabricated a pair of drying racks from 1×1″ pine boards using medium eyelets to hold hooks made from 14/3 electrical wire. This combination was cheap and seems to work fine. Also scuffed the non-skin components of the VS and rudder.
Here all the parts are staged prior to scuffing.
Used the spare bathroom and a doggie shower attachment to scuff with maroon Scotchbrite and green Dawn dish washing soap. This action also took off the major grease and grime from earlier processing steps. This is a porcelain tub, so a rubber bath mat cushions the parts in this picture.
All the parts are scuffed, cleaned and are hanging on the new drying racks.
I manufactured a fake window box for the dual fan setup in a few hours with cheap 2×6 pine boards. The fan is supposed to move 1420 cfm, the whole shed is 800 cubic feet. If all goes as planned, a complete air turnover will happen twice a minute – not bad for a home paint booth.
