Sir. I applaud you.

However never get bored, I refinish gliders, have done for many a year,  just think you could have 1 pair of wings both 7.5 metre top and bottom, 1 fuselage approx. 7 metre long

All rubbed down to bare glass, filled and profiled 3 times, primed, and then top coat, rubbed down to 2000 grit and polished to a mirror finish

I doff my hat to you sir. That's a helluva lot of work and skilled to get a top Finish.

I'm currently trying to decide which areas to bond in new panels and which to refinish.
