Using The Stewart Systems products.

I am using the Stewart System on my MK IV HH.  THE fabric and EkoFill was straight forward with no problems.  I am in the process of painting the fuselage with the two part poly in white.  Some tips for this are,  1. make sure the viscosity cup is accurate. Use a #30 drill to deburr the hole, water should take 15 sec's. to empty.  2. Use a gram scale to measure mixture.  What ever amount of Part A used divide by 3.3 = Part B.  Divide Part A by 2.75 = water.  3. If vary warm when painting keep water in refrigerator. 4. Most important is to use fluid settings as directed in video, failure will result in runs.

Just finished the 3 peice cowl, and baggage door.  Looks great.  The thing to remember is to wait at least 10-15 mins. between coats.  Less will give runs.  For cleanup I found the spray " Awesome" to work great.  I buy it at one of the Dollar stores.    Russ.
