Mark-
I found a good way to remove sticky adhesives. The CA (cyanoacrolyte) glue
accelerator (aka "kicker") spray works great for removing tape adhesive.
Much better than acetone or alcohol. Spray on and wipe off. You can find
it in a small 3oz bottle at any hobby stores. It works so well I'm

Seems the tendency to deform might depend on the difference in thickness
between compressed fiberfrax to the cut-out area without fiberfrax. I've never
seen the stuff so I wouldn't know. If it's much perhaps substitute the

I cleaned the spray gun and put it away for the last time: spray painting is

Did I mention how much I hate sanding?
I am sure there will be bits and pieces for touch up, but that will be a
little brush or rattle can.
Now it's bolting on the big pieces and see if it will pas

Yes, I searched the archives back to 2006 and did not find the answer.
