John,
I don't think there is anything magic about aircraft primers. Some things to
consider:
Aircraft Finishing Systems products are both water borne and non-toxic -
good for your health and the disposal of waste.
Zinc chromate is highly toxic and is banned in some countries, such as here
in Australia.
Two part primers tend to be resistant to oils, hydraulic fluid and solvents,
while single part and some two part may not be. You need to decide what
protection you want and ask about any product you are considering.
You can also ask yourself whether you need primer at all, for the interior
of most of my plane (excluding the cockpit), I am alodining only. It takes
60 seconds and has no overspray or cleanup, and adds no weight to the plane.
For more on primer wars check out the archives, Sam Buchanan and Andy Karmy
web sites.
Have fun, David Francis, VH-ZEE, enjoying a warm summer.

I've tried Aircraft Finish Systems Waterborne primer and
zinc chromate in spray cans. Does anyone know why it's important to use
"aircraft" primer. What's the difference between a/c primer and various
hardware store primers, such as automotive primer?

Hi all .Hope everyone enjoys a good year!
I am busy with my wings and found that I have 20 x 711L [left] ribs only and not
the normal 10 right and 10 left.Is this a problem as they still fit but the
flanges face the wrong way?
Regards
Cliff Lotter
