Here we go again with the primer! I think we are getting pretty good at it though. Still some problems to work through with measuring cups and dispensing from the cans, but so far it is going well. We have also trimmed the time down from marathon sessions to something more manageable. This time still took about 3 hours, but we had more than the average amount of material to spray so I think it all evens out.
Everything got laid out in the exact order that it was clecoed in to the stabilizer. This way, once the material dried I would be able to mark up the parts again if the marker didn’t show through the primer. We have also moved away from the drop cloth method to the disposable painters paper roll. It is inexpensive, disposable, and doesn’t lint or fold up. It protects the driveway really well too.
Not much to it – just some priming and organizing today!
