Steve, glad to hear I'm not all alone in here on the no-prime. I agonized over that decision for months, but once I found the ACF-50, the primer idea was pronounced dead, and there isn't one molecule of the pesky stuff on my emp. Applicable for every climate, lighter, faster, easier, and better than ANY primer, I think. Of course, if I don't get back to building soon, I'll be pronounced dead before I ever finish the plane, anwyay. :lol:

ACF-50 is a wonderful thing!

They REALLY understand corrosion! It is an ELECTRICAL process and they explain it VERY WELL! Check out the videos on the bottom of this page:

Personally, I would still prime the airframe or at the very least, the mating surfaces.

It's all over but the flying! 800+ hours in only 3 years!

ACF-50 sounds like magic. After reading their claims I may have my 152 treated with it as a pre sale perk. Thanks for the heads up.
