12/23/03, 4.5 hrs

 

Poor log entry on this date:

  • Deburred and dimpled right elevator skeleton
  • Deburr and dimple right elevator skin
  • Moved left elevator stiffeners with left elevator parts
  • Late start due to working overtime tonight.

Tonight was all about priming...

  • I only had a couple of parts to primer, however, this evolution took all night.  This sure goes smoother when Tami helps out.
  • The whole evolution went pretty well, however, I had to mix up primer twice as I ran out of primer...
  • It was getting really late and I was getting in a hurry...  The priming on the last part didn't look nearly as nice as some of the other stuff I have done.  I attribute it to one of two reasons, to much curing solution for the amount of primer I had, or not waiting long enough for the induction time (which is 30 minutes).

Needless to say, by the time I got done, it was 2 am.
