Hi all I have alodined all my wing ribs a couple of weeks ago now, they've been hanging in a relatively clean environment since.
What do I need to do before I prime with Akzo?
Can i just blow them clean and paint, do i have to strip and realodine or Is there a simple reactivation process for conversion alodine like just redipping?
I don't want to find out later when all my primer starts flaking off I should have redone the whole process. but I don't want to waste time on unessary processes.
Has anyone succefully painted aged alodine with akzo and either had issues or not?
Maximum time between alodining and Akzo priming?

Shoot the primer on and it will be fine. I usually waited a day or two between alodine and primer. Handle everything with nitrile or latex gloves just to keep your fingers from touching the parts.
