A Couple More Platenuts and Some Primer (6/18/10)

0.5 Hours -

Not much to report.

I countersunk the aft side of the spar for two more platenuts that will go on the forward side.  Countersinking the wrong side of the spar here could be costly, so I looked at the plans rather closely.

Two platenuts are attached to the forward side of spar...you have to be very careful that you countersink the correct side.

Then, I primed the top of the left spar since all of the countersinks were completed on that surface.  I didn’t want to waste time just dabbing primer into the countersunk holes, so I masked off the entire surface, wiped if off with some acetone, and sprayed a coat of NAPA 7220 self-etching primer.

After all the countersinks were completed, some NAPA 7220 was used to cover any areas where the anodization layer was removed.
