More F-709, F-710 and F-712 Prep – 3.0 hrs

Friday May 20, 2011

Tonight my focus was to finish preparing for a big priming session tomorrow. First was to dimple the holes in the F-712 bulkheads for flush head rivets and countersink the AEX tiedown.

Then I deburred and deglossed the F-710 parts.

Then came the F-708 bulkhead. Nothing but deburr and degloss.

Then I spent the next couple of hours cleaning and drying this rather large batch of parts with simple green and scotch-brite.
