I'm working on my forward top skin.  Want to be able to easily remove this panel in the future, so I'm going with J-nuts.



Question:  How are you guys securing the J-nuts so they stay in place long enough for you to place the top skin and screw it down?  Are you crimping them down somehow?  By the time I got my first screw secured, many of the remaining J-nuts had "floated" so they were no longer accessible through the holes in the top skin.  



I'm using "Spring Nut Type J" (part number 214883 from McMaster) with AN526-632R6 machine screws.



What works for you guys who are using J-nuts...?



Thanks,



- Pat
