Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - Main Tube (clean-up after sanding)

 

Used Mineral Spirits to clean Main Tube after sanding - 5 (Click to see an enlarged image.) 

 

With all sanding of the main tube completed, and as I did with the dew shield after the sanding process, I used mineral spirits to clean away the aluminum debris and residue from the surface of the main tube.

Now that both tube components have had their surfaces prepared, I will next tackle the priming and painting of both, which will require some setup. First, I will start with priming the main tube.

SPECIAL NOTE: When performing these types of tasks, PLEASE be sure to protect yourself from any and all potential hazards.
