Carl:
We used the many Roloc dics and several boxes of the Scotch-brite pads along with the stainless wire wheels. The wheels were used extensively on the lap-joints, and rivits. Additionally, after the plane was bare metal, we used a borax solution and laundry soap with the Scotch-brite pads to removes any particles of oil/metal/junk of any kind. After this, the plane was alodined (sp), and then primered in two part epoxy zinc. There is a very small window between the start and finish of these steps if you read everything on the painting lable, and adhere to it.
I know this much.... it's a lot hader than it looks, very time consuming, and very critical to the finished product.
Thanks, Herb
