[QUOTE="downtofish, post: 234105, member: 7309"] I'm stripping a 12 foot vhull at the moment down to bare aluminum. The boats old and I'm useing a sanding wheel to get down to bear metal which means it will be comepletely uncoated till spring when its warm enough to paint. Is this a bad idea ? -- Should I clean it with alumaprep 33 then coat it with the alodine stuff before I let it sit for three months ?? or am I ok just letting it sit open for 3 months ? it already has some pitting, so we are not talking about anything fancy here. I will be steelflexing the bottom and Grizzly gripping the topside/sides in spring for my topcoat. [/QUOTE]
