There are builders like Andy I hear, but not to worry any Mk 1 bumpy
spar, warped-core, bad rib fillet, cussin' wing finishers remaining
out there, it can be only a few part-days per surface if you work it
efficiently. In fact, on mine the job included surface quality to
pass the dial indicator test +/- a few thou swiping that handy device
chordwise. System III Resins UV epoxy primer gives you temporary,
pre-cure gloss that in the settin' sun tells ya what you'll get.
Gorgeous. That's before their water-reducible-poly white base
coat/clear coat, followed by 2000-grit paper and 3M Perfect-It III
Machine Glaze at $29 a quart. Real soon now.
