We received our packet from Aircraft Spruce containing AlumiPrep and a new quart of Superflite Epoxy Primer and Catalyst. Each of the parts were cleaned with AlumiPrep cleaner and then flooded with water to neutralize the cleaner. The parts were wiped dry, all holes were dried with compressed air. Our final step was to wipe the parts with Isopropyl Alcohol. The all parts were painted with the Superflite Epoxy Primer and allowed to dry overnight. We lightly sanded the parts with a Grey Scotchbrite pad and inspected the parts for coverage. The main gear looked adequately covered, but the smaller parts had some areas that needed a second coat so we wiped them down again with Isopropyl Alcohol and sprayed another coat of Epoxy Primer.
After another day to dry, the parts were lightly sanded again with grey Scotchbrite and inspected. The parts are now ready for their final top coat of Ocala Orange paint.
Hours: 4.5
