OK so this is a newbie question but I wanted to ask before I wrecked something else. First of all I think I know the answer, but to error on the side of caution here goes... I've been working on my empennage and most recently installing the nutplates for the elevator access panel. I just primed the nutplates and I decided to place some screws in them during priming to prevent the threads from filling with primer.
Is the nutplate also supposed to act like a lock nut or something? I screwed the screw into the nutplate and it will not screw all the way through. I'm assumming it will if I apply more force but I stopped at this point deciding I wanted more info before proceeding. This is problably the most obvious thing to experienced builders, but I wasn't sure.
