More headstock spraying today. Had some bubbling last time because it was really too hot to spray when I did it, so I first sanded those bubbles flat (the paint had had two days to dry fairly hard so no problems there), Started before 9am this morning and finished my round of three coats for for four headstocks faces by 11am, when it was hitting 25°C and was several deg. warmer in the spray tent.
Just checked and its now 28°C in the shade and was 40°C in the tent with the flap closed (post-spray mode to keep the dust/wind/insects out). Definitely too warm for good results. Early morning and early evening sprays only from now on all the time we have this glorious near-cloudless weather.
