Are there any instructions on how to get started, ie, set it up for my log book, airplane?

From: James H Nelson I have just pulled out my wing root fairings (p/n F999 ) and pulled the blue skin from the underside of the fairing. It looks like there is some form of "corrosion" that looks like a fuzzy worm that snakes around from an edge. It is only on my wing root fairings and is covering the one edge of the fairing where the factory holes are located. Both fairings have this condition. If it is the "filliform" corrosion, can I eliminate it from the part? if so, how is the best way? If it is left as is, since this a nonstructural part, will it contaminate any other parts such as my wing skins? Its one of those "got to know about this" items.

Check out this link for examples. The second link shows a time lapse of filliform growing.

Jim, Best bet would to apply some elbow grease to it with Scotch Brite pads , a little Alumaprep acid etch, Alodyne and followed by your favorite primer then the part will have the best chance to endure and to ensure no chance of contributing to more corrosion. As they say "airplanes are Bio-Degradable. Everything the plane comes into contact with will cause corrosion of one form or another if left unchecked. Protect it best you can.

Jim I had the same problem on one of the pats of my -10 tail cone. I just called Van's and they sent a replacement part. Their initial suggestion was to scotch brite the corrosion out. I found that I was taking too much material off (for my comfort) and decided to ask for a replacement part. They were very good about it.
