Brief Description:  Primed the left wing skins

Not a long day today, but it felt like a milestone.

With everything ready from the previous day, it did not take long to be ready to start priming. The small parts were done with my small spray gun which behaved reasonably well. The big skins, with the big spray gun were moderately difficult. The skins were not on a really smooth surface so I did not dare lean on them or stand on them for fear of creasing. It was therefore a real stretch with the spray gun to cover the whole area. Not good for my back :-( Each one had to be dried then carried outside, which involved manoevring in a tight space with my "life support" system on before I could remove this to take the parts outside for stacking on my faithful wallpapering table. Every time I took a panel outside I had to check the weather as the CU was building and I feared a rain shower (which didn't come). The big spray gun was a bit erratic again. I suspect "lumps" in the paint as have been reusing mixing pots. I'll buy some disposable mixing pots and see how I get on next time.

Given the lack of space I repacked the sprayed skins in the packing crate which can be stood upright, with care.
