Cleaned out a spot in the garage to lay down some newspapers for the corrosion control paint IAW the instructions of the Chief Engineer. Fired up the Mr. Heater propane heater (sounds like a jet engine - makes me reconsider my propulsion options!) to bring the garage temperature up to a good painting level. Brought all the pieces and parts up from the basement workshop and distributed the little parts around the paper and leaned the long parts up against the lid of my Tail Kit crate, which I cleverly saved. Once everything was in place and the temperature was nice and toasty I killed the open-flame heater (!) and gave each of the metal-on-metal parts a good coating of Zinc Phosphate.
This is the last time I plan to use rattle can application for anti-corrosion. TomorrowI should receive my shipment of Cortec from Zenith which will be applied with a brush and no doubt smell less deadly.
