Pietenpol-List: Re: Almost Finished With Wing Ribs
Original Posted By: "John Francis"
Hi TerryI made a "dunk tank" out of a 1 ft x 6 ft spare piece of MDF and some 2 inch siderails and did the full immersion baptism of the ribs. Used thinned spar varnishand did it twice, looking for penetration and not beauty.The benefit of doing it before storage is that they are sealed and more or lessimmune to any affects that the environment might have. Of course I'VE neverspilled anything accidentally or had mice nest someplace they shouldn't...Ref the attachment to spar discussion -- I tend to take the nails/Jack Phillipsside rather than glue for one reason. If you ever have to rebuild a wing (likeAxel, Jack, Douwe, and Gardiner), it's easier to disassemble nails than glue.Now if you used a relatively weak glue that would hold things in place untilafter rib stitching but could be broken without damage to the ribs or spar,that would work too.DaveRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Almost Finished With Wing Ribs
