Tried out new polisher. Works faster and more smoothly than the old one. I think they did a better job with the counterweighting of the orbital pad. Finished as much polishing as I'll do to this panel at this point. Cleaned the rivet pilot holes in the panel with a toothpick. Cleaned the edges and back side of the panel with alcohol to remove the polish residue that slips through the holes and around the edges, and removed all of the mill markings and layout markings from the inside of the panel. Started to re-cleco the details to the panel. Reached 300 hours logged on project.
