This week Eric and I installed a work surface in the 8’x10′ shed in our back yard. The intention is to utilize the shed for corrosion protection and priming/painting. I have decided to use the alodine process (PPG DX503 surface treatment) on ribs and spars, using a dunk tank to submerge the parts completely for 100% coverage on all the nooks/crannies of these parts. The big flat surfaces like skins will be treated with PreKote.
After the different corrosion treatments, the interior parts will then be primed with two-part epoxy primer. The selected primer is PPG DP40LG, grey-green in color with good adhesion characteristics and excellent water vapor penetration protection.
