We finally did another batch of primer, after periods of heavy smoke, then business travel, then too-cold weather. This included parts from the mid-fuselage bulkheads/ribs and the firewall:
Some parts drying after washing with PreKote
All parts after PreKote
Ribs, firewall and inspection panel parts after primer
Ribs and firewall parts after primer
Ribs, firewall, ventilation ducts and inspection panel parts after primer
Ribs and firewall parts after primer
A less-than-amused primer applicator at the end of the day
With this, we can finally resume riveting for both sections!
Time lapse:
Total mid-fuselage ribs time: 48h Total firewall time: 24.4h
