I've put a couple of coats of gesso on and it has dried a couple of days so today I'll start sanding it smooth. These covered tail pieces will not get gesso. |

Everything is covered, doped, and glued in place and I have applied a partial coat of gesso. I'll put on a couple more when the filler is sanded smooth. |

Gesso, as in Jesse, is made to prepare nearly any porous surface for painting. It is used primarily to prime raw, or unprimed, canvas. The combination of these two will produce a finish smmoth as glass and with all the holes filled. It also makes the wood harder. Gesso is used directly from the bottle and produces a flat white which covers quite well. |

Warm weather has allowed the covering to start. The wings are done and today should see these pods done. The hubcap is made from styrene. |
