Corrosion proofing on bolts
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:09 am
Where bolts are a permanent part of the airframe and will never (never say
never right?) be removed, would it be Ok to install with wet primer like a
rivet? It seems strange to dip every rivet which is the same material as the
structure, and less likely to corrode, and not do anything for a steel bolt
which is theoretically in a more critical area to boot.
And what to do for bolts that will be removed? Is LPS-3 or some other waxy
type product a good answer? What about torque values with greasy threads?
I wouldn't worry about it so much if I wasn't going to be in salt, but I
know I won't be able to resist.
Thanks in advance.
