I have flaps/ailerons completed with a good working clearance between the tubes and the aluminum flap bushings; everything works well but I'm concerned priming them (in between bushing areas) will cause them to bind upon trying to reassembe.

I use white lithium grease and coat the entire tube before assembly.
