Flettners Primed




And another evening after work provided enough sunlight to shoot the primer on the few parts before darkness. As expected priming the inside of the skins was a bit tough but I think I did a good job on them anyway. I'll let the stuff dry over night and then it should be ready for some riveting in the morning. There's not a lot to do to complete this step, so I expect the ASTs to be finished before noon and I hopefully be back inside before we cross the 100 degF again.
The skins had to be partially primed on the outside as well as on part of the hinge will be riveted against the outside of the lower skin. I didn't want to get too complicated with the masking tape, so I just shoot the opposite side as well.
