Wing prep and flap gap seal

We are moving on to the the wing and are prepping it for the primer. The wing was lowered from it's perch in the shed rafters, and moved into the paint booth. We did some clean-up work, including a little ironing on some of the pinked edges, and some acetone to remove a few unwanted glue blobs. We noticed that some of the inspection plate cover areas were a little wavy, so we hit those with the iron too to smooth it all out.

We decided to fit and drill for the aluminum flap-gap seal prior to priming.  The rivet holes are a little under 3" apart.  They are (almost) all equally spaced along the length, but the spacing was adjusted a little to ensure none of the rivets fell on a rib.  Once drilled, we removed the flap gap seal and will prime/paint that piece later when we do some of the other metal parts.
