Today I finally finished all of the deburring on this batch of parts. I then had to decide which parts I was going to use the azko epoxy primer and which parts to use the Napa self etching primer. I don't have that much Azko left, so I decided I will use it for the smaller parts and the inside skins. I will used the rattle can Napa primer on the bulkheads and larger metal parts. I used scotch brite pads to scuff up all of the smaller parts, then cleaned with acetone. I also marked these parts with my electric engraver, so I will be able to know which part is which after priming. The acetone removes all of the sharpie pen marks. I then alodined each of the small parts.
Next, I cleaned the larger bulkhead parts with acetone. I will not scuff these up with the scotch brite pads, because the primer is self etching. If the primer does not adhere like I expect, then I wll scotch brite the next parts before I self etch prime...I also sprayed 2 pieces before I callled it a night. The primer looks like it covers very well. I check it tomorrow when it is dry. Tomorrow I should be able to prime all the rest of this batch and then maybe begin the tail assembly on Sunday.
These small parts are all scuffed and cleaned with acetone...ready for alodine
The parts in the front have been alodined and the parts in the back have been cleaned with acetone
