Read the dang instructions, ya'll!

Well, I almost screwed up. I just happened to read the whole "Preparing the Main Spar" section before riveting on the platenuts. About 4 instructions down, it says to "Spot prime all countersink holes where the anodizing has been removed". I reckon that should have been instruction number one. It reminds me of that test we all took in junior high or high school where the teacher passed out a weird test with all sorts of strange instructions, like "Stand up at your desk and state your name out loud". Of course the first instruction said to read the "ENTIRE" test before starting the test. If you did read all the test questions, the last instruction said to ignore the other questions, sign the test and turn it in. Ya' know I flunked that one. I found one of my kiddos cough medicine bottles and put some Alodine in it. Then I dabbed the countersunk holes with a Q-tip.
