Hi all.
I've been putting in a lot of hours getting ready to apply wooden leading edges to my project. I'm ready to permanently glue the leading edges in place on the lower wings but want to check my thinking on how i would like to do it.
I sanded, leveled on new sturdy sawhorses,checked fit, applied clearcoat to the noseribs, filler blocks between ribs, and leading edge ply interior. My question is this...Rather than spread T-88 on all of the interior of the leading edge skin, is it workable to apply t-88 to the nose ribs, spar top and bottom while applying another wet coat of clearcoat on the inside of the leading edge skin instead of T-88?
I know the 2 are compatable, that often T-88 is thinned with heat to make it spread easily, and the majority of the t-88 used doesn't contact a rib. Just seems like a couple of coats of Clearcoat in contact with the T-88 on the wing would suffice.
Thanks for your thoughts
Dan.
