Priming

[geraldmorrissey]

Primed about 50 or so aluminum detail parts outdoors the other day in 93 degrees and 18% RH. Pretty unusual for Seattle. I'm using Stits EP430 thinned 50% with the usual Alumaprep 33 and Alodine 1201 prep. That paint flowed out beautifully and was dry to the touch in about 1 hour in my no air shop. I applied it with an airbrush. Great painting weather up here in the temporarily dry NW. Anybody got a tip for etching and coversion coating the rear spar capstrips? Their like handling wet noodles. I'm constantly afraid I'll damage them.

Stewart's treatment here, that's a little warm for me. Maybe you (we) could try hanging them up on a wire.

I treated cap strips in a long wooden box made from S4S boards. Lined box with heavy poly sheeting. Used a big paintbrush to make sure every spot got treated.
