13 OCT 14: Primed wing parts, page 9-18 step 7 (right tab): 7.5 hours
First batch of Akzo – waiting for the :30 mix time before shooting:
Patched my figure 8 dimple while waiting.  The patch epoxied to the flange:
 The epoxy oozing through the figure 8:
Wrapped a piece of .032 in packing tape so it won’t stick to the epoxy:
Clamped together until it sets.  Front:
Back:
First batch of parts drying:
Had to rivet the hinge on the second elevator trim tab, so I could finish priming it:
Last batch for the night.  Always takes longer than I think it will due to having to wait for parts to dry, mixing more batches of primer, etc.  Have ½ of a leading edge skin and an outboard wing skin remaining.  Primed both elevator trim tabs, all leading edge ribs, wing walk doublers, splice strips, all wing/leading edge stiffeners, 1.5 leading edge skins, and all but 1 of the top wing skins:
