Clear Coat the Ribs Before Installation?

[Cameron]

I'm about to start on the top wing of my Christen Eagle project. The ribs are already done. One of the major pains in doing the lower wings was brushing the clear coat on the ribs. Getting in to all those nooks and crannies wasn't fun. So, I was wondering if I could go ahead and sand and clear coat (System Three) the upper wings ribs before I slid them on to the spars. I'd leave the clear coat off of the areas that get glued. Seems like it would be easier to do this now rather than after the wing is assembled.


Any thoughts?
