Hi
I notice that there are a number of screws in the canopy doors as well as in the canopy itself. I am wondering what people are doing with respect to these screws prior to painting. Are they being glassed over or left as is?
Inquiring minds need to know

Those of us from the Glastar world have about 100 screws to cover up in the glass work, a small patch of light weight fiberglass cloth over each screw is the way to make them go away with proper body work.

don't cover them unless you are sure that you will never have to remove them again.

Also David forgot to mention what he told me and I totally agree with....stainless countersink washers on all glass to metal fasteners points...spreads the load and stops the composite from cracking and spreads the load ...Rick SkedN246RS

Hi Rick
Do you have a source / part # for the stainless counter sunk washers? These Tinnerman washers are similar to ones used on my Cherokee f/g tail cone but they are not glassed in. See link http://www.airpartsinc.com/products/ss-tinnerman-c-s-washers.htm Are these what you are suggesting?
Cheers
Les

Spruce sells them in number 6, 8 and upper sizes...I bought larger ones for the seatbelts and main axel bolts on the pants....but if I recall Wicks. Sells them too...they really make a difference in wear and in appearance. I'm getting ready to paint my pants and fairings and plan to mold them into the glass...got the idea from Deems who helped a friend do the same..

Spruce has 2 different kinds... I use the stainless ones... page 96 of the 2008/09 catalog, part # 04-00397, 00392 and 00398. If you want some of the Tinnerman countersunk washers, I'll make someone a special deal on some.... the stainless ones are shinier.

I'm not sure you got your question answered. There are about 30-40 screws that bolt the cabin top to the fuselage. These will never come out again, assuming you followed the plans and epoxied the bugger in place. I am filling them in with micro-balloons. On the roof of the cabin top are 4 screws that bolt the window brace, 16 on the hinges, and 2 for the front seat harnesses. I will leave these alone, just in case.
I use washers under countersunk screws in thin fiberglass (spinner, fairings, etc.) but see no need for them in the thick glass on the cabin top.

Did you embed these in the doors as well and then glass over them? Did you cover the screw heads?
