Hours Today: 5.9 Project Total: 203.9



(8-9 step 9):  Yesterday morning Angela & I took advantage of the cooler weather before work and alodined all the nose and inspar ribs.  The tubs I had were just ever so slightly too small to fit the inspar ribs so we weren't able to use them, so we used our 5gal buckets that we store the alodine in.  We wound up using the labelled romex I put together also... a benefit... we didn't have to keep track of which rib was which so we could dunk all the nose ribs at once.  So, we were able to get everything done in just under an hour. 
Today it was finally time to prime everything.  While cleaning the dust off the skins we realized we still needed to dimple one of them.  After that I was off to prime.  The skins, as usual, took more primer than expected so I had to 'reload' and finish in the dark.  Here's a shot of the results... the quality is definitly getting better, but I've still got some improving to do.  One thing I think I'll make a point of is only priming during daylight hours.  I don't like priming inside the garage (tried it, but don't like it) and there's a very limited amount of light even just outside the garage when its dark out.  It's very hard to tell if you've got complete covereage.
