Default Tip: Deburring and scotch brite
First tip on deburring. Make friends. I just deburred all the holes and edges of six wing skins and scuffed them with scotchbrite in just a few hours thanks to a friend. It really speeds things up. Two more skins tomorrow and all eight are ready for dimpling and priming.

Second tip
I have a HF 5" hook and loop pad orbital sander. Scotch brite pads stick perfect to the pad. It scuffs flat skins really easy and super fast. Cool!

In case it's not clear, this should only be done on parts which will be primed.
