I started out removing strips of the blue protective plastic to allow for dimpling and riveting.   I’ve had several people comment that they had some corrosion issues focused under the edges of the blue plastic.   The most recent was from the technical counselor that was just out for my first counselor visit.  

   

So I guess the debate would be which symptom would be worse after 2-3 year build period,  scratches or minor corrosion.  Since all of these reports have been second hand, I’m looking for feedback from anyone that had any corrosion after the removed the blue plastic at the end of the build.     

   

Any strong opinions with either option?   Did anyone else find corrosion under the blue plastic when removed?  

   

Thanks,

I had the corrosion on several edges. I've still left  plastic on, but pulled it back from edges a bit and deburred the edges and used  the Alodine pen on it. but I haven't found corrosion UNDER the blue plastic away  from edges, however, In my case, some of it has been on for 6 years. However,  when I noticed the corrosion beneath the plastic near edges, it was within  months of when it was shipped to me.

Unless you are going to polish the plane, don't worry about scratches..unless they are gouges, you'll never see them after you paint.

Bob,



On my 7 there was no corrosion after removing the

plastic, but I'm in Central Texas.

I had some corrosion under edges of protective  plastic when removing 5 years after receiving kit from Van's. Don't know what is  worse scratches or corrosion. But I think I would go with the potential of  scratches. Only my opinion.
