DRM Delta II Build Part 7 SRM Supports


The lengths of the nine SRM Supports sticks were a little off.

All nine support sticks were set side by side and the bottoms evened up on a flat surface.

While the ends were even, all were taped together. This left the upper ends like the picture above.





The uneven ends were sanded and checked against a right angle square.






The supports were stacked side by side and set on masking tape (sticky side up) to be sprayed with gray primer.

With the supports stacked and sprayed this way, the paint will only cover the top, leaving the sides bare for better adhesion.

After one side is sprayed, the whole stack is turned over and the other side sprayed.
