So is this just too anal ?
I decided to just prime the contact areas where the ribs meet the skin and hated to just let the overspray fall where it may, so I used the soldering iron trick on the inside of the skin and used the remaining vinyl for masking. Peeled it off after the primer was dry and was pleased with the results. Didn't waste too much time in the process.

Anal - perhaps. But it looks good and it saves weight. Granted, you're probably the only one that will ever see it!

Hmm... why remove it at all? Would you really even need to remove the protective plastic on the internal pieces ?

I believe the answer to this is a resounding, "YES!" I've removed that plastic to find some light corrosion under it. (Easy to take care of but...) You're better off removing the plastic coating. (besides, every ounce of weight removal helps.)

I feel his idea is to remove the plastic for sure. If you don't remove the plastic there will be corrosion!

Yes, that is anal. Then again, whatever floats your ship.
