Tonight's fun and frivolity consisted of scuffing the left elevator stiffeners, the E-615PP trim reinforcement plate and the left elevator skin, then cleaning and priming all these parts. There wasn't really much tonight. I used a Dremel-like tool, procured from the aviation aisle at Costco, to break some of the edges on the reinforcement plate. I'm not too thrilled with the results as the best thing it has to offer is a sanding drum, which I feel is a little too rough for cleaning edges on most pieces. I've seen where other builders will make their own tool for their Dremel tools using ScotchBrite material. Just get a bunch of ScotchBrite at Lowes, or Homer's if you prefer, then cut your pieces out and stack them together in whatever diameter size you desire, then attach them to one of the screw-shafts of your Dremel, using a little washer, so they don't disintegrate. Viola! You can make a number of these little gems for a few bucks compared to ordering them online. Yeah, it may take a little work, but we need to put our money toward other things on our project, right?

Later, I'll be riveting the pieces that were primed tonight. I'll let them dry for now and have fun later. Take Care and Thanks For Reading!!
