Q&A
Please note, Aircraft Spruce Australia's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce Australia assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.
An epoxy primer is recommended by the manufacturer. We offer epoxy primers from PTI Products, Poly Fiber, and Randolph. A search on our web site for epoxy primer will return the relevant results.
The material has a 4 year shelf life. The customer must seal and store properly for full shelf life once opened.
Per Randolph: cold and damp will impede any coating from drying. You can give it a week to be safe but there is no guarantee. Using a little heat might be the best help.
The vendor recommends applying to an epoxy primed surface. It should work with zinc primer but it is not per the vendor recommendations.
The preferable time would be 7-days at 70 degrees of 5-days at 80 degrees.
Gasoline can degrade it.
