At least normal water-proof contact glue for the cork
sticks well to the cortec I used to prime my aluminum
tanks with. This is probably true for most primers as
long the primer is not overcoated. I decided to use
plain cork sheets as the properties of the sticky back
cork glue is typically unknown. On the other hand you
could test it with your primer, some water and some fuel..
If somebody has negative experiences with cortec
priming of fuel tanks please speak up now before I close
the wings...

Subject: Priming Of Fuel Tank And Enclosure
I recall reading a couple of posts in the past from builders who had
problems with their fuel tanks corroding through due to moisture between the
LE skin and tank. Therefore I was planning to prime the outside of my fuel
tanks and the inside of the fuel tank enclosures in the LEs of the wings. I
am using PTI zinc chromate primer on my airframe. Has anyone else done
this, and if so, did you have any issues with adequate adhesion of the
sticky-backed cork strips to the primed surfaces of the fuel tank?
Thanks,
