I forgot that step . I did double the number of ribs in each panel after
the first bow up episode. I have plenty of pink, blue and other urethane
foams on hand but I'm not ready to tear the other out yet. I have been
very careful about the sanding pressure by using a 4" PVC pipe wrapped
with 50 grit paper to rough close to shape and then finishing with my 8'
alum. I - beam level with 80 grit paper glued to one side. I have a guide
set on the stub wing and at the tip for the level to ride on so as not to
flex the foam panels in the middle. The panels bow over a 24 hour period
after I have a near perfect surface done. I'm starting to believe it's
the temp. difference. I have been sanding the wings at 4 to 5 in the
morning at mid 60's temp. and the hanger going up to the 90's during the
day. I may have just talked myself into taking the foam out and starting
over.
Thanks for the help-- Joe Horton
