Alodine and priming

Post by dwf2008 »

Hi all,
I am just starting the tail kit for a Sling 2. Regarding corrosion protection, I am planning to use this process.
Wash parts with Bonderite C-IC aero.
Rinse with plain water.
Soak in Bonderite Alodine 1201.
Rinse in plain water.
Prime with SEM self etching gray primer.
Assemble and rivet parts.

Does this seem like a worthwhile process and not overkill?

Thanks for your thoughts

- Don

Mike Blyth himself has said that it's overkill to alodine and prime. Personally, I'm doing neither as I don't live in a coastal climate.

I will be using corrosion protection for dissimilar metals, like the stainless steel rivets, though.
