Edge deburring, Cleaning and priming

Next was the process of edge deburring, cleaning, and priming all of the parts, so they could finally be riveted into place. A tool that ordered contains a special V notch cutter, which is supposed to debur both sides of an edge at one time. I found this tool to be almost useless, because all it seemed to do is mess up the alclad layer and make it more rough than it was before. So I opted for some elbow grease and some 320 aluminum oxide sand paper I got from NAPA autom parts. You want to use the aluminum oxide and not the other more common sand paper you find in your home project stores, because the silicon they use in the general purpose sand papers can promote corrosion on aluminum surfaces under certain circumstances. It took a while to get all the edges the way I wanted them, but its done.
