Tip. If you have long skinny pieces, use a vertical mounted piece of PVC pipe as your "tank" to contain whatever fluid you're using. Get a cap for the top of the pipe to keep the fluid stored. Or, put a plug at the bottom to easily drain the fluid. A nylon plug with a valve if you want to get fancy. Of course, a ladder will be helpful for long pieces. For shorter skinny pieces, short sections of pipe are worthwhile since you don't need as much fluid as you would with a bucket or square container.
@aviationkitbuilder, Do you recall how many gallons of Bonderite 1201 and C-33 alumni prep you used for all the interior parts? One builder had commented he used 3 gallons each for both.
I haven’t finished yet but that would be a good guess to me. It does wear out as you use it. You can see the bubbles slow down on the Alumiprep and the metal doesn’t turn as golden on the 1201 as you use it.
@@aviationkitbuilder Eagerly waiting for your next build videos . Got my kit delivered this week along with the engine. So very excited to be a part of Sling community. Also when you have time will you be able to add the link for the Walmart containers you used for Bonderite/Alodine?
@@rakeshviswambharan8317 Good luck with the build! I can’t find a picture of the label that is clear enough to see model numbers but I can see Hefty is the brand and I see a 63 quart storage container on Walmarts website that looks correct. That one is 36” X 16” which is about what I have. You can only do the small parts without buying lots of the acid and alodine and using large pvc pipes as tanks. That’s why I’m just priming the longer parts.

I'm a professional Alodine user. You can brush it on to big parts and it works fine. Just keep it wet until it's ready to rinse.
Thanks for watching. I’ve seen the brush on technique before but I was worried about the mess since it’s not good stuff for the environment.

Very helpful (:
