This past week has been like running through quicksand backwards. Got the new right aileron hinge drilled and deburred, then proceeded to rivet one half to the flap that I had drilled out all the hinge rivets on a few days ago. Then realized I had not primed it first. Well, I am not going to drill out 57 rivets again, I will prime the hinge with a brush, since it can't be reached with a spray, before I'll do that.
Then when removing the outboard bottom skin from the wing for deburring and dimpling, the last cleco pulled out prematurely and dropped one corner of the skin on the floor, and bent it over, at which point I dreamed up a few new expletives, or at least some new combinations thereof. Hope I will be able to straighten it satisfactorily without it stretching too much, thankfully for appearances sake it is on the bottom of the wing.
Got the bright idea of clecoing the skin to the wing skeleton for deburring the holes, easier to get the drill on them that way. Works well.

Well, that sucketh!

Finally got the right cutout in the hinge.
