Started on my RV-7A wings recently and the first task is to drill those big ol' countersinks on the spar for the tank attach screws. The instructions say to prime the freely drilled aluminum which is what I've done, but I've seen build logs where builders are using alodine on them instead. Is there a big benefit to doing it this way, or just personal preference? Don't want to start a primer war if that's all it is. Just wondering if it's worth considering cleaning out the primer and applying alodine instead, which wouldn't take too long.
By the way, coming straight from the gentle hand-holding empennage instructions, the wings feel like boot camp: "Welcome to the wings. NOW DROP AND GIVE ME 150 NUTPLATES!"
