My first attempt at my personnel choice of corrosion prevention is Alodine 1201. My intentions are not start in on the primer wars but I need some help. I marked my parts with a black permanent sharpie. When I prepped my parts with Alumiprep 33 diluted with 3 parts water all my markings disappeared after a 3 minute soak. After the first piece I tried a one and two minute soak and did not get as good of an Alodine finish and only the 1 minute soak I could only just barely make out the part identification marking. My process is working very well. My only problem is how do I know what my part location is after I am done. Can I lightly engrave the parts or will this make the parts prone to cracks later on??? If not does anyone have a solution? Luckily I did the on the horizontal stab parts with right side and left in order so I know what is what. I am worried about the future when I get into my wings.
Thanks
Marked parts just before Alumiprep.
After Alodine with a 2 minute soak.
Finish with a 3 minute soak
