Shaping the leading edge is not easy either and I will take a good deal more time setting up on the kit itself. \u00a0Overall, the section looks okay, my inspector will give me the verdict. \u00a0Tools to order:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Speed deburrer<\/li>\n<li>More cobalt jobber drills (first one blunt already)<\/li>\n<li>A better way of connecting the compressor<\/li>\n<li>Trailing edge drilling jig<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I think I have decided on a primer from Stuart Systems &#8211; EkoPrime. \u00a0Emailed them last night and got an immediate response on a Saturday! \u00a0Looks like you need EkoClean and then EkoEtch before the primer is applied. \u00a0They distribute through Aircraft Spruce which I should be able to get through LAS.
