(first of all I don't want to make this a alodine vs [insert corrosion prevention technique here] thread...
I've never worked with alumaprep, nor 'alodine' before...
Got some time yesterday to work on the plane... needed to prep for priming. So I mixed up some alumaprep, put it in a bucket and scrubbed everything...
Poured the old alumaprep in a gallon jug rinsed the bucket good and went to alodining... well the small parts turned out great, the long ones, not so much... if I couldn't lay them flat and imerse them it was splochy at best (think stiffners, to spars)...
So I got some 4" PVC and made long 4', 6' and 11' tanks by capping them then sawing off the top just above half way... Think I'll try them on the spars/stiffners today...
Anybody got a good technique they could share? Can I re imerse the long pieces with success?
