I saved the left elevator skins for a separate session because they needed some additional work after scuffing. The small foam ribs that provide support for the skin aft between the aft spar and the trailing edge will be glued in place with sealant. The sealant needs bare metal to get good adhesion, so I needed to mask off the area where the ribs will go.
I only had the two LHS skins (E-00901A & E-0901B), the pieces that assemble to make the trim tab actuator pushrod, the trim tab front spar (E-01405), and the trim tab skins (E-01406 & E-01407) in this batch. I had to redo the masking on one of the trim tab skins because I started measuring from the wrong starting point. Good thing I put the skins together to see if the masked areas matched. The main skin masked areas were perfectly matched.
Results were very good. I have some additional 4 ft. LED lights that I'm going to install in the paint booth for the next priming session because you can't have too much light when you're spraying.
