I just painted my [Binder Design] Stealth Jr.
It's had it's first flight, and now is the time to paint it.
Sanded it down, and cleaned it.
Painted it it's 'primary' colour: matt 'Krylon' white
Next day, masked it off for it's second colour.
Painted it, Krylon 'primer' grey. let dry
Peeled off teh electrical tape (masking) and the 'low tack' masking tape (to fill the spaces between the electrical tape), and surprise! paint patches that peel off (easily) with the tape!!
And quite a few patches of paint peeled off!! Most of teh nose-cone, and various patches on teh BT. Man, Am I bummed!!
Despite it being a cool-ish day, I guess teh humidity is still considered 'high'. And despite it being cool, I guess that's a relative term, as it is in the mid 20's..
I guess It needed more cleaning, or more sanding.. Or there's something in / on those parts from Oregon!
Bummer.
major bummer
