I keep it in a 32 gallon Rubbermaid trash can that doubles as the dip tank. As it approached 6 months old it was taking forever for it to convert a layer on the aluminum. I guessed that it was mainly due to the chemicals precipitating out and was apparently correct. I added a couple aquarium style circulating power heads and it was like new after that.

Michael Sausen -10 #352 Fuselage -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of messydeer Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2006 9:34 AM Subject: RV-List: Re: Iridite Wanted to Buy --> RV-List message posted by: "messydeer" Thanks for the tips, again, Barry. I had talked with Henkel before using alodine. They had mentioned it could be recycled. What I found was that as I reused the solution, it took a longer dwell time to get the same results. So I ended up adding straight alodine to the recycled solution. So I'd like to be prepared to use solutions on the stronger side to speed up the process, especially since the baths will be tap water cold. I supposed I could use hot water to start with, but it would cool quite a bit anyway before finishing my parts for the day. Charlie: Where do you get your powder?

My plane is almost 3 years old and is greatly in need of a paint job! I'm seriously thinking of painting it myself and have some questions for those of you who were brave enough (or foolish enough??) to paint your own airplane: Are you happy with the results? Absolutely. I get compliments all the time. Knowing what you know now, would you do it again or pay someone else? How fat is my bank account at that particular time? Seriously, painting the aircraft was the most challenging part of the whole project. The most obvious difficulty is that an attached garage covered in aluminum dust is a heck of a place to paint an airplane. Did you have any painting experience before you painted your plane? Zero experience. Painting a second airplane would be far easier than painting the first one. Any idea of how many hours in prep and paint? Lots.. Maybe 200, considering cleaning the garage, hanging plastic, making air filters, etc. If you feel like typing: Which brand and type of paint did you use? I used hardened Dupont Centari. Next time I'd use either Dupont's Imron or PPG's Concept. What kind of paint gun? If HVLP, was it with a standard compressor or one of the special HVLP paint setups? Standard sprayer with a standard compressor.

Doug, here is the tale of the paint job on my RV-6: http://thervjournal.com/paint1.html Painting a plane is a big job, but one that can be accomplished by a patient, persistent amateur. If your plane is still unpainted, you are probably still at the 90% completion point. :-) Sam Buchanan ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 07:09:29 PM PST US From: "Bob Collins" Subject: RE: RV-List: Did you paint your own airplane?
