Hi all,

I got some aluminum cleaner on one of my elevator skins accidently
(see attached) and didn't notice it was there until it left some
corrosion on the skin. I'm just getting to the tailcone, so it is
going to be a while before I was going to paint (I'm planning to paint
after the fly-off period so it will be a couple of years) Is this
something I need to worry about? Should I clean it off, and if so,
what should I use and how to ensure I don't make it worse?

One other thing I thought of is to use the corrosion protection that I
am using and put that on the outside of the skins. I am using
Sanchem 6100 and they say you don't have to put the sealer on top of
it if you are going to paint, and that you don't have to paint or
prime immediately. If any of you are using the Sanchem stuff what are
your recommendations?

Thanks,
James

James,
Polish the corrosion off of the affected areas, using your 2" Roloc ScotchBrite discs. Use the fine (blue) discs to do this. Once you have cleaned the area, reapply the Sanchem to the area you cleaned.
