 |
|
Does any one here etch prime the rivets before fitting? and does any one put the etch prime on the outside of the skins, especially along the rivet lines?
These seem silly questions but as you can guess what I'm doing at the moment and want to start off well. Not sure where it will be parked so taking the worst case etc etc
Thanks Kev

It's probably a waste of time to prime rivets before use. On priming the
outside, just be sure to get a primer that is cooperative with your
final paint type.
Some primers don't work well with the final paint.

Hello KD, I'm almost ready to prime and asking similar questions, I have the tail and wings at that stage now.
The primer has a two month life once opened so I decided to shoot the rudder, stab and wings in one batch. When the parts are all fully primed, inside and out, I will coat all the mating surfaces with jointing compound before riveting.
I've never heard of priming the rivets before, are you using wet primer for the rivets or letting it dry?

Just a data point. When I started the build process oh so many years ago I called one of the top aviation paint places over in Mena Arkansas to get a quote on paint and ask them what I should do during the build process to make the painting process cheaper/easier for them.
After asking what kind of AL I was building with and me explaining the types of rivets that were being used they said don't do a thing to anyplace I wanted them to shoot paint and to clean up the Zinc Chromate as best I can before I bring them the plane.
