Hey I have a kind of dumb question. I want to prime my parts on my RV tail. Here's the question, do I prime them before i match drill all the holes? or should...

I'm afraid to go there with this one =) But I'm gonna try a few out and see which one i like the most and go with that one. ... next question would be what...
You might do some research depending on what you want in a primer. Some are purely primers and intended to be used under a top coat. Some are primer/sealers...
After almost a month since I was last able to fly, I finally got my plane out for a bit this afternoon. It was cold, but dry, runways and taxiways were finally...
Jason, I was lucky enough to also get up today. It was cold up there. Anyway, in RV7s it is common to cover about 1/2 the oil cooler to get the temps up. I...
I would clean with acetone and prime the small parts and faying surfaces with Sherwin-Williams 988 G.B.P. Self Etching Primer in a rattle can. Quick, easy and...
Yeah, thinking about it, I may go the rattle can way, at least for now. I don't have a good place to spray, and definitely not enough space to alodine. I...
I'm using the SEM self-etching primer in the rattle can. You definitely want to prime any steel or non-Alclad surfaces. I primed everything on my tail, but...
John, Nice simple solution. Easier on an RV where the cooler is mounted to the baffling (I believe) vs. the KIS where the cooler is mounted to the firewall and...
I used the same SW 988 GBP self etching primer. I thought it did a good job and was very easy to use. John Adams _____ From: eastsideeaa@yahoogroups.com...
After my flight I went there for gas. When I got there I asked ground what was up? They didn't know it was closed and called the company to confirm. They...
Has anyone used powder coating (for priming or otherwise)? Keep thinking about setting up an old oven in the garage and acquiring some powder coat from Harbor...
I managed to get the RV-7A out for a few touch-n-goes yesterday. Weird weather. It was bright sunshine right in the eyes on upwind, and light drizzle on base....
I've been using "PTI Zinc Oxide Primer Green" (ACS PN 09-00962). I mix it 50/50 with solvent (ACS PN 09-00956) and brush it on with cheep bristle bushes. I...
Hi Curt, Is this Zinc Chromate (or Chromic) oxide? One of the reasons that Zinc Chromate primers have fallen out of favor is that they are nasty carcinogens....
I've used powder coating for several parts, including re-coloring rudder pedals, flap torque tubes, and my instrument panel in the RV. I also had most of the...
It's the non-chromate version. When I was a kid, my father use to bring home nearly empty cans of zinc chromate primer from work (US Air Force). We used it...
I got up there on Friday and also had some issues getting oil temps up, although I was more than happy to have low CHTs. There was a nifty cloud that was...
Hey all, I'm trying to finish up my Rudder, and in order to put the countersink in, it says I need a #10 countersink. and a #10 dimple. How many times am I ...
Rudder? Already? You didn't start with the horizzontal stab. You can borrow one, but you will need that size dimple set. Did you get the set of dimple dies...
nope =( I'll just order it then, wasn't sure how much I would need it. I decided to go with the VS first, since i'm building in my apartment, seemed best to...
