Brief Description:  Prepping bottom wing skins

Finally made it back out to the shop after a pretty unproductive week (or two). I finished deburring the bottom outboard skin for the left wing. I also scuffed it on the bottom in preparation for priming. I like doing that before dimpling as the dimples destroy the scotchbrite pads I use to scratch the surface for priming. I then started on the bottom outboard skin for the right wing. I needed to remove the plastic from the bottom and top (I completely remove it from the bottom of the bottom skin vs cutting out the rivet lines on top.) I Then deburred the edges of that panel. I need to finish this skin and the left and right wing inboard skins (smaller) and then I can start dimpling holes, then clean, tape of the holes and prime. After primer we're riveting!
