Empennage, Horizontal Stabilizer (Part 11)

According to the plans, now is the time to start riveting all the pieces of the Horizontal together.  So, its time to Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo prime.  Most of the parts were small enough to "dunk" in the bins.  In my time lapse video below, you can see the expedited process.  I completed the Alumiprep and Alodine process today.  I will allow all the pieces to dry overnight and Akzo prime them tomorrow.  Here is a few pictures of the parts after Alodining.
