Being doing some of my first polishing practice on the test panel this morning as well as preparing for some more top coats, in the booth at moment between coats.

That's what I'll probably be wearing at work when I finally start work again! :)

I would be more than happy with the finish on the wing as it is now, shame about the little mishap (I won't spoil the video for everyone) , but you are making very good progress :)

How many panales have you started spraying now?

Sprayed a few Duncan,
will have some hard enough to start the same polishing next weekend and then weekend after.
Problem as ever is time as presently working just as hard at home or still going to work and in both cases working in evenings.
I also have to be aware of upsetting neighbours who might be out in gardens and my own family time.
Mike, yes just spent some more time checking out buffeting and polishing videos, but still scary time not knowing how much time, pressure and gritted paper to use.
Rich.
