I Alumiprep 33'ed and Alodine 1201'ed my wing ribs and rear spar parts today. The parts came out of the full strength Alodine at about 80 seconds and looked perfect. I was running short of time, so simply placed the pile of ribs in a kiddie pools full of water at ambient temperature (about 65f) for retrieval after dinner. After returning from dinner I began retrievig the parts and noticed that most of the color had gone away. The parts are almost back to silver, but still have a slight bit of color.
Did I Alodine long enough the first time?
Did I remove teh Alodine by leaving them too long in water?
What is the next step? Alodine again? Paint?
Did I just remove the color?
I'M CONFUSED!!
