2 hrs. over the last two days starting to fill the rivets on the bottom skin of the left wing.

Taped over all the rivets, sanded off the tops....

...Only to discover the reason that even after sanding the tops off and it leaving tape in the holes (which I had to tediously pick out) I was not using the best tape for the task.  What you really need to be using is....

...Low-tack painter's tape.  Oh well, I have plenty more rivets that will need filling, so I ordered two rolls of the right stuff.  This is the right stuff.

NEXT SESSIONS:
  1. Fill rivets with Bondo.
  2. Flip to top.
  3. Wiring in.
  4. Landing lights in and tested.  Test wing tip lights.
  5. Air lines in.
  6. Fitting and final sealing of left wing fuel tank.  Tank off and test for seal.
  7. Inspection of both wings by EAA Tech Counselor.
  8. Fuel tank on.  Just bolted at this point.
  9. Top skins riveted on (STRINGERS!).  Top skins of left wing need priming.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  10. Leading edge riveted on (STRINGER!).  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  11. Rivet fuel tank on.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  12. Wing tip assembly and light installation.
  13. Finish right wing (8,9,10,11,12).  Also Bondo for bottom skin of right wing.
  14. Finally finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
  15. Fill rivets of elevator with Bondo.
  16. START ON FUSELAGE!
