I thought that's what that slight yellow tinge was. jaybannist(at)cs.com wrote: > Raymond, > > Thanks. I too was building a flying tool, not a hanger queen nor a beauty contestant.

If I begin to see signs of surface corrosion, I will certainly entertain one of those. But, here in North Texas, we don't have any salty sea air nor any influence from salting snowy roads. > > I finished my wings and stored them outside, on a wooden rack covered with a tarp. When I brought them inside to do the painting, I found a lot of surface corrosion. It occurred mainly where the tarp touched the metal. It took the better part of a month to get rid of it. They probably would have fared better if I had left them uncovered. I think the corrosion formed when the tarp actually kept the contact area moist. Uncovered, the moisture would have mostly run off and the rest just evaporated. > > Jay > > > > > > -- -------- Andy Shontz do not archive CH601XL - Corvair www.mykitlog.com/ashontz Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=218522#218522 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:55:05 PM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: Polish, Paint OR not From: "ashontz" I know aluminum boats in salt-water need zinc anodes and aluminum boats in freshwater need magnesium anodes. I'm guessing a plane near the sea would need a zinc anode. Might want to experiment with both types. raymondj(at)frontiernet.n wrote: > Interesting thought on the home base sacrificial anode.
