    Hi Rich,

    It's nothing exotic ... just 3/4" heater hose from Pep Boys split and fit over the edge. I never liked the result of my efforts to burnish the middle top skin edge over the front bow. It always looke "home made" instead of hand made to me. I haven't glued it because it doesn't seem to need it.

    ... with the added benefits that it's tough as nails, readily available, and dirt cheap.

    Hi Richard- Thanks for your reply. I'm not ready for paint yet but wanted your opinions. Only 2-3 quarts. Sounds like it goes a long way. What about polishing compound instead of sanding?

    Richard,
    Will you be bringing your plane to Cloverdale this weekend? I am very interested in the paint and was looking to do something similar. I am also going with a Corvair. If you have time maybe I could talk to you during the fly in. Delete Comment
