Countersinking Wing Platenut Attachpoints & Priming - 3.5 hours




I completed countersinking the #40 holes for the platenut attach points. It was a slow process as I took my time to ensure the countersink cage is nice and flat on the piece. I would check, check and re-check as I went. Marking pieces OK when I was happy with the countersink depth.
I've began keeping the laptop nearby. Its quick reference to Vans Airforce / Buildlogs, and of course...Netflix!

I then took an hour to start priming platenuts. This is an idea that I had picked up from wirejock. I reason that it's an extra couple of steps to clean and prime them. But it seems worth it to me, as they are steel and priming will help mitigate rust.
