Today the rain stopped and it warmed up to 41 degrees. Well, the can of epoxy primer says it will paint and cure down to 35 degrees and if it's humid just let the primer set for an hour instead of 30 minutes. As you can see most of the 14" of snow is finally gone. The primer went on just fine after a final wash with MEK just to make sure it was clean. A few hours later the rain was back but by then the spar was safely back in the attic to finish curing.
By evening the primer was dry to the touch and the attic is only 55 degrees. The leading edge is now off. Removing and cleaning ribs is next. I've tagged the ribs to put them back in the same positions because I want to use the old skin as a pattern rather than mark and drill all the rivet hole from scratch.
