Much elbow grease is saved if you replace the
sandpaper often.
Long Straightedge
.....
This is not absolutely required, but is quite handy when jigging
or checking the straightness of flying surfaces. It is merely a 6-ft
or 8-ft lx3 or lx4 piece of lumber that is hand-selected to be
"eyeball straight". You can get it one of two ways: (1) Order it from
Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co., or Wicks Aircraft Supply - they plane
them perfect from dry lumber. (2) Sort through the lumber (dry fir or
redwood) at your local lumber yard until you find one that looks
straight when you eyeball it from one end. Mark it and hang it on the
wall so it doesn't end up as part of a shelf!
Epoxy Balance
.....
Devices which automatically ratio the correct amount of resin
and hardener and dispense it with the pull of a lever are available
from Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co., and Wicks Aircraft Supply, for
approximately $150. These save time and epoxy. You can ratio the epoxy
by building the following simple balance - don't skip steps!
.....
Follow each step exactly every time you mix epoxy.
1.
Place both empty cups as shown (wet
the hardener cup).
2.
Adjust ballast weight to level mark.
3.
Fill resin cup with desired amount of
resin 1 to 6 oz.
4.
Add hardener to hardener cup to
balance scale on level mark.
5.
Pour the hardener into the resin cup
and mix.
