Good morning all,
I guess this thread is more 'general' than any other category. I recently purchased a 2nd hand wing kit, and a few of the ribs have some light surface corrosion, but nothing that can't be corrected (I think). I have been using a scotchbrite wheel on a dotco, and it works, but it is very time consuming. (a little at the time)
I remember a little about acid etch from college, (A&P classes) but don't remember everything.... What products out there have you all used to remove light scale / corrosion from aluminum?
I saw a product on Spruce from Stewart that appears to be more eco-friendly than some, but does it work as good?
Please help! I want to remove all traces of corrosion before I prep and prime these parts. I will reject and replace the parts that won't 'clean up', but don't want to reject anymore than I need to.
Thanks!
Gregg
