Horizontal Stabilizer Plans for this Weekend

I'm still waiting on tools to arrive, but I do have enough to prep and prime parts. I am going to try the following process on one part this weekend to ensure good prep work:
  1. Assemble parts with clecos and inspect for good fit, defects, or damage
  2. Remove protective film and debur. Inspect for scratches
  3. Clean parts with Simple Green Extreme Aircraft using 3M Scotch-Brite Pad 7447. Wipe down with distilled water
  4. Using nitrile gloves, wipe down with acetone
  5. Spray two coats of Rust-Oleum Self-Etching Primer and let dry for 24 hours
I will assess the process by the end of the weekend and either need to adjust or be ready to move forward.
