Hours Today: 1.5 Project Total: 84.9



(6-4 step 5):  Realizing I hadn't taken any shots of the parts after priming last night, I decided to get a couple this morning before Easter morning services.  You can see the disappointing results... The parts are completely covered, but the primer is almost translucent.  Hmmm... I'm obviously not doing something correct (?)
Ah-Ha!  I figured it out... the AKZO primer directions indicate there is a 30-minute "induction time".  I have heard this implies mixing the 2 parts and then waiting 30-minutes before using it.  Last night I did not do this.  Tonight, after returning from Easter with the family, I decided to finish up the priming.  This time I did let the mixture sit 30-minutes prior to using, and the results were immediately noticeable!  This looks more like it!
So, cool!  Now we're ready to get on with some actual assembly... things are going to be exciting next time :-)
