Brief Description:  Dimple Top Skins Left Wing

I scuffed the inboard skin to prep for priming, and then moved on to dimpling. I researched the VAF website on the discrepancy between the plans for the pattern of holes to leave un-dimpled for mounting the fairing on the inboard rib. Decided to use the pattern on Drawing #38, and transferred that to the skin, wing walk doubler, and rib. Dimpled all other holes in the inboard skin and wing walk doubler using the C-frame.

Had Frances come out to help with the larger outboard skin as it had quite a lot of the skin hanging off my table during some parts of the dimpling. Once all the dimples were done, we took the skins and doubler outside (it was 70 in February!) and washed them with Dawn dish soap and warm water. While the skins dried I dimpled the remaining inboard ribs with the squeezer.
