Brief Description:  Priming of skins and internals,

As explained in the preceding log, I had to remove a full row of rivets and two rows spanwise along the top and bottom edges opf the wing skin to effectively 'peel' the skin back to get at it with the primer in the spray gun. This skin was primed and all the mating parts and untreated metal in the wing were aslo sprayed so the wing could be closed up.

Also took the time to prep and prime the Right wing's skin which was still unattached and easier to coat evenly. There was a lot of scratching, paint and tape residue which had to be cleaned and buffed in the prep of the metal, asl found many holes not yet deburred and dimpled so did that too.

Once dry I returned to the Left wing skin and cleco'd it back in place and continued riveting to try finish half the sin by end of day, but slipped 3 times, twice badly and left terrible damage to the skin along the rivet line, I think this can be repaired but will likely mean a new skin.
