I'm getting ready to glue my AEX strip into the trailing edge of the rudder. I'm wondering about how the priming effects this operation. I have primed my interior rudder skins with the Stewart Systems primer. So I have a few questions:
1) Should I prime the AEX strip or is it anodized?
2) Should I sand the area where the AEX strip will attach to the rudder skins? This seems counter to my priming plan but it may be required to get good adhesive of the glue (fuel tank sealant).
As always any thoughts or comments would be very helpful. My feeling orginally was that I should prime the AEX strip, sand the skin mating area lightly, and glue it up.
