Brief Description:	Finished preparing the parts for assembly of VS
Today I sneaked home during my lunch period and primed the ribs, spars and inner skin surface for the VS. This time I am really seem to be getting my groove on with this priming business. I did not reduce the mix of the 1:1 mixture of 2 part epoxy primer with reducer. It shot nicely through the 1.4 mm spray gun, and I got a much better finish than last time with the HS. I also slowed down my sweep when painting which put on a more even coat of primer and required less quicker sweeps of the gun which would invariably put on too much primer and it would run. So, while I don't think that I have mastered this yet, I certainly took a leap forward today. I let the parts dry in the sun while at work and when I returned from work I started and finished dimpling the ribs and the skin. Again, I used the pneumatic squeezer for the ribs and the C-arm dimpler for the skin. Once, this was done I dimpled the lower part of the rear spar that required flush riveting and then machine countersinked the doubler for the same area. I then sprayed some touch up primer on some area left without a primer and where I countersinked. Called it a day after this, and the VS should be ready to assemble and start riveting tommorrow.
