OK,
I can really start building hard now, because I have my first
scratch. It'll never be perfect again. Seriously, I have a scratch
on the top surface of my HS skin .... caused by a drill being jerked
from my hand (not by another person, but by a loose string that
happened to wrap itself around the chuck). I'm assuming I should go
ahead and lightly sand it and prime to prevent corrosion while it
sits waiting for the rest of the plane to be built.
Anyone see any reason why I shouldn't smooth it out and prime it?
I never planned to have a polished metal aircraft anyway.
Thanks for the consultation / confession session!

I think that would be the thing to do if you scratched through alclad.
