Fuselage prep for paint

 We cleaned the fuselage fabric with isopropyl alcohol, and then used acetone to clean up excessive glue spots from many of the fuselage tapes.  We also found several residual wrinkles and bubbles in the tapes that we fixed with a hot iron set at about 250 degrees.  Next we started masking the fuselage, which is actually a bit complicated because of all the tubing that gets in the way.  Still have a lot more masking to do, but making good progress. Hours: 10
