Nope. You're not the only one

A factory rep giving a presentation here awhile back said it would take a
year before treated bare metal would be paintable. I'm afraid he meant a
year from when it's "dry". Great stuff, and it migrates long distances
across metal all by itself. Doesn't require a shower.

Just a brief warning to fellow builders. Be careful if you use Corrosion X
on your parts. A little goes a long way!! I sprayed it in my wing's
leading edge area and also the other areas that were open prior to closing.
I didn't think I was overdoing it. But...it doesn't take much. While the
wings were up on the wall they both started dripping ever so slowly from the
low end. Now that they're on the plane and the tail's on the ground it's
seeping out in several places on the back side. I'm glad they are;
hopefully it'll stop before I get ready to paint or it could be terrible!

I'm probably the only one who'd do this. I am the over do guy. But if
there's soemone else thinking of using Corrosion X, beware.

On the bright side, there will never be a hint of corrosion within three
feet of my wings! Craig

They shoulda put that on the can! Hmmm...I'm thinking aluminum is a great
color for a plane.

Yep, I sprayed my 172 with it several years ago and that stuff seaped out for a LONG time...as in a couple of years.
