EAA chapter 1083 is putting on a "Poker Run" this weekend.  5 airports, end 

at RUQ for lunch on Saturday.  I think you can begin Friday night if you 

wish.  The website has additional details (www.eaa1083.com)  The 5 airport 

loop is 78.8 nm.  1083 usually puts on a good meal, and the weather is 

looking GREAT.  consider it.

Doubt I will go.  Still working on panel.



How do you prep for the primer?

primer is rattle can SEM (as recommended by Randy Lervold)



used for the ribs and spars of VS



flaked extensively where the flange meets the web of the spars.



prep was 320 grit sandpaper, degrease with some naptha based solvent, 

scotch-brite pad, soap and water, blow dry, re-degrease, 3 light coats at 67 

degrees F (approx), 4 minutes between coats.



this seemed to work well when I primed the HS hinge bearing.



suggestions?

Carter,



I use the same stuff but prep slightly different.



What I have found causes it to flake off is moisture.  This week I painted some parts in the basement and other outside.  The parts I did outside were dry until I brought them outside, then moisture condensed on them, which cause the SEM to come right off.



Just make sure the parts are dry and you won't have any problems.

Thanks Bill and Larry -



what do you think I should do now?  does it all need to come off, or just 

the portion that is lifting away?



re-scotchbrite, clean, and prime?



Bill - what is your prep?

Carter,



I don't think these emails are going to the group, thus the private replies.



When it happened to me the other night I just scotchbrited the parts and painted them.  If it is a skin or a part that can't be replaced easily, I go through my normal prep routine.  BTW, acetone will take that primer right off.



My routine, and by no means the best but it is easy and seems to work is:



Scotchbright the parts

Alumniprep them

Wait three minutes +/-

Wash with water

Alodine them

Wait three minutes +/-

Wash with water

Go to bed

Sleep eight hours (Ok, maybe more like six or seven)

Get up, go to the basement and paint everything (which should be dry by now.)

Shower, eat breakfast, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go work on the plane, repeat for three years.



Bill



PS. Larry, I like your paint job.  Bummer it won't work on a -9.  Also, I forgot to look at your panel on Saturday to see the washers you used to hold it in.

If I may throw my .02 worth in.  Don't use naphtha.  Use lacquer thinner or

the better choice is a Prep Sol aka wax and grease remover found at NAPA.

It is pricey though $35/Gal.  Worth it though, 1 gallon will do 1 airplane

and then some inside and out.
