Don't know if this technique is "out there" or not, but thought I'd pass it along. The problem is when you have everything prepped and primed, then you have to squeeze fit the parts into place, and the resulting scratches that are the inevitable outcome. My solution is these separator sheets, clear tough plastic that can be found at stationary stores. They are used to seperate pages or sections in notebooks. Put one piece on either side and "shoehorn" the part into place. Then, just pull the plastic out. No scratches or gouges in your work. This works on dimpled parts too, and is the only way I could reinstall the rear bulkhead after adding the tailwheel mount.
