I'm New Here
Hi everyone. New to the group, but have admired your planes for a long time.
I recently bought an -8 emp kit off of Barnstormers. It was a good deal with all that I received, but there is light corrosion on some of the surfaces that will need to be addressed. I took the worst pieces to a local A&P and he said that the easiest thing to do is to Scotchbite and prime.
I was thinking of cleaning with Metal Prep Number 79 and then coating with Alodine 1201 (see Aircraft Spruce). If I do this, will I still have to prime the parts, or is the Alodine a corrosion proofing of it's own?
I am looking to do the quickest, easiest and cheapest method possible, with the least amount of space required. I know that I do not want to do a two part system. It may be better long-term, but am considering the Tempo spray primer method as an easier alternative. Thoughts? Has anyone used the Tempo stuff?
Thanks,
Barry
