With all of the skins and wing walk doublers prepped (Except for the final joint prep) I want to get the skins primed, at this stage, even though I will most likely need to do some final prep work on the joints to get them to transition smoothly. I will cleco all of the skins back onto the skeleton and if needed (probably will) I will re-work the joint.
So, I set up a production line with a scuffing station to rough the surface of the aluminum to give the pimer something to grab on to... a cleaning station to clean all the oil, dust, etc. off the skin with MEK...and the priming station where the protection goes on. I then rolled all 8 skins and 2 doublers thru the line.
