Rudder scuffing & priming

I took advantage of the anniversary of my birth to get some help in the shop (also how I got my wife to go camping the first time...go with what works!).

 

I had a surprise helper who hasn't had much interest in the process so far:

 Audrey did a great job scuffing the reinforcement plates, and Erin did almost all of the scuffing & cleaning while I touched up a few edges.

 All rudder parts ready for priming!

 I imagine the parts pile will be quite a bit bigger once we dive into the wings, and might require a full sprayer system...until then I'm sticking with Napa 7220 Self-Etching Primer in a rattle can.

 Anyone see the problem with the above picture?

Oh, and organizing sockets? Actually a matching game for 5 year olds! Seriously, kept her occupied for almost an hour...
