Thanks for all the responses on the AFS primer and primer in general. Based
on your responses and Dan's new outlook on priming, I will probably go with AFS
on non Alclad parts and Alclad that has been scratched up. I am not sure
about priming the Alcad parts in general because I wonder if the AFS ectching
stuff destroys the Alclad protection.
I have four kids and a dog running around here and just don't want to mess
with that nasty stuff. I wonder if alot of us have been obsessing over priming
these things anyway. This plane probably outlive me without primer.
Frank, I'll give you a call if (when?) I get stuck. I am really going to put
Van's claim to the test that someone with average skills can build one of
these. I had trouble getting the wheels on my compressor! HA
Dan, I'll be placing an order for your DVD website in the near furture.
Thanks again
RV7? or RV7A?, Tip Up? or Slider?

Unless you get really violent with the abrasive pads, the etching
cleaner only etches the oxide off of the surface of the alclad and
roughs up the surface microscopically so if you want to prime the alclad
do it without worries. On the other hand, depending where you live and
will keep your plane, painting the alclad may be entirely unnecessary
and a waste of time. I did prime mine with AFS since I may end up
living near the coast (salt air and all) when I retire in a few years.
Whether it will really make any difference my grandchildren will have to
find out (and my sons are still in college).

Neal,
That's a great idea. I'm going to do that on my next project. As soon as I
recuperate from building my first airplane.

I am about to start riveting the rudder (hopefully this weekend) and
have a quick question, I recall discussion on applying proseal at the
rear of the stiffeners to strengthen the rudder (and dampen vibration?)
and I notice proseal is also required to glue the rear of the rudder
together before final riveting. As I have only the 6oz proseal kit from
Van's which has to be used once mixed is this a) enough proseal for the
job and b) is there a trick to get it in the right places before
everything is closed. I recall seeing someone using a cake icing bag
trick but cannot remember who's web site it was. As I have ordered the
QB tanks with the wing kit I only want to buy enough proseal for these
small jobs.

Hi Dave,
I used a zip-lock freezer bag with one tip cut off to squeeze the proseal
into the trailing edge of my elevators. I got the idea from a cooking show.
