Left Leading Edge Skin Prep

Chris's avatarPosted by

Got the left leading edge skin all prepped. This included deburring all the holes plus deburring the edges. Then dimpling. Used the DRDT-2 for much of it, and the pneumatic squeezer for the edges. A few holes near the apex of the leading edge cannot be reached by the DRDT-2 (well, they can be reached, but there’s no room for the handle). So the “close quarters dimple die set” works great here. It’s used with a finishing nail and a pull rivet gun. Most of these dimples turned out great and indistinguishable from the rest. Then it was a light scuff, acetone clean, and primer spray on the inside surface of the skin.
