I am about to attempt to put on some Epoxy Filler called Superfil that I bought from Aircraft Spruce. The question I have is how do I prepare the surface of the aluminum? I'm afraid to scratch it up with sandpaper like you would do to make auto body bondo to stick to a car.

I'm doing the tips on my empannage now. That is exactly what you need to

do for good adhesion to the metal. If not, I think that it would peel
off the aluminum skins.

Robin, Have at it with the 80 grit sandpaper. You do the same thing with aluminum. Hard to make yourself do it but thats the way it is.

In most of such coverings the rule is nothing shiny or glossy. I like 150 grit, some prefer 80. Protect the margins with tape, etc. 3 inch minimum protection. Amazing how abrasives wander about.
