Finish Kit

Canopy Fairing done ( 3 hrs )

Final sanded the primer coat w/ 400 grit to a smooth finish.  Removed tape in front for feathering, then the big reveal - removed last layer of vinyl tape on aft edge of Canopy.  Very satisfying to see clean edge along windshield.  Finally.   ( I didn't cover the front of the canopy, so plastic protection sheet got overspray...)       Also torqued LH & RH Steps.  When I stopped in local Napa store to buy more Napa 7220 primer, I found they had a 5/16" socket/U-joint combo for ~$8 (much lower than some I'd seen on-line).  This worked a little better when using my torque wrench.  I had to use a mirror to see the nut while applying torque seal indicator, so kinda messy.
