First thing tonight was a wipe over of the tail piece to get any dust and crap off and then mix the first lot of body filler:
Apparently that's more than a pea of hardener, or perhaps less than a golf ball of filler, as it hardened too early again.
This is the piece after two lots:
I actually found the lightweight filler a little more difficult to apply than the fibreglass reinforced filler, it seemed to be a bit more gluggy or something...
Anyway, as much as I wanted to sand it tonight that would create more dust floating around the garage after getting the "booth" done and I really didn't want any floating into the "booth", so I'll get into that first thing in the morning.
The house mate gave me a hand putting the ceiling in the "booth" up along with some brackets to hang the guards and seat trim from, and I finished it up tonight so it's ready to roll:
There's four of these brackets to hang stuff from:
I worked out this morning that I had nowhere to hang or sit any pieces that need to be protected from other colours or primer etc. for example when I'm priming the tank and tail piece I don't want that to get on the guards and seat trim as they'll be primed with the plastic primer.
So two of those extra drop sheets I got are to crate a clean(ish) area beside the "booth" where i can safely put pieces so they don't get overspray or anything on them:
It's not perfectly sealed but it should do the job.
And I hung the gun stand up.
Yep, it's taped there. That tape is stupidly strong. I was leaning quite heavily on that stand and it didn't budge. I don't want to put it there permanently so that was the easiest way...
