metal preparation....

[Jean Poirier]

I finally start construction (work table done, air line done, garage clean up done etc). All ribs (leading/trailing edge) are cleco to the ailerons ribs. Ready to desassemble, deburre, prime and reassemble with cleco and than rivet. Mam have send me some b/o of the original shipment but the Met-sol still b/o....... Can I use something else? In the past to repaint a Cessna elevetator, I have use top quality thinner with scothbrite. But this time it is very important because it is MY REBEL!!!! Car refinishing products or industrial, let me know....

Jean, just hit Canadian Tire or your local Hardware store and buy a couple
quart cans of Acetone.

I assumed Jean was talking about cleaning the aluminum prior to any epoxy or
paint. If you were talking about thinning your paint Jean, disregard my
reply!

You should use a thinner compatable with the paint you will put on the

parts. If you do go with painting the parts and assembling them dry then
use a thinner compatable with your primer, if you use the polyfibre then use
the thinner for that product.

For what it is worth, we use a chromate carrying etching primer from

Duponts' automotive line called Corlar 810R and we clean with laquer thinner
before priming. Dupont advised Corlar was the best choice for our aircraft.
Corlar is the base primer for their Imron topcoat system.

We assembly dry, this is what Cessna does so it is good enough for us! We

do not prime the outside of the assemblies, we will do this when the plane
is finished and ready to paint.

Hope this helps, have at it & enjoy!

Hey I took my wife out for supper at least tonight! Maybe, if I get offline
now, she's still awake!! ;o)

Besides, anything beats the family/relative burials I've been attending,
that's kept me off line this week.

I was speaking of cleanup prior to paint also, just figured that the

thinner for

the paint (or compatable) was a good idea for prep too, no issues of
compatability that way. Acetone is fine like Wayne said but I think

lacquer

thinner may be a little less costly and it also does a good job of

cleaning up

the ink from the material ID stamp..

P.S. Wayne, its' only an hour earlier in Ontario, what does that say about

your

Saturday night, night life? ;>)

Hi Jean !

You can use plain acetone instead - it's the safest of a
bunch of choices. Much better than MEK or the like, but still
calls for lots of fresh air, and reduced skin contact (gloves).
A light rub with Scotchbrite won't hurt either ..
