Aft Fuselage (4.5 hrs )

Sect 10-11 Steps 2-5:  Finished deburring -  geesh, there's a lot of edges due to slots for longerons, etc plus many lightening holes.  Repeated scuff, clean w/ acetone, and spray Primer 7220 (Napa brand). Riveted bulkheads.  Mostly completed Battery Angles steps to add nutplates on same section.
