I will pester you with one more question. Abby lives within spitting distance of the Pacific.
Would an application of ACF-50 be a good idea? If so how is that stuff applied?
Thanks, Dalton


Yes an application of ACF-50 would be highly recommend, especially if you want to follow Cessna's Service Bulletin regarding corrosion. ACF-50 is applied using equipment first designed for Ziebart rust proofing of cars. There is a pressure gun that is supplied with 70 to 80 psi air. There are several interchangeable metal wands that can be attached to the gun. These 6 to 8 foot wands are inserted through the wing tip and used to "fog" the insides spaces. Inspection plates are usually opened and a cloud or mist of material will roll out of the openings. It kind of looks like smoke coming out of the openings. Other applicators consist of shorter wands and flexible tube wands. A 150 will take about 2 quarts of the material. It will creep out of seams and especially the seams on top of your wing. ACF-50 also lubricates your cables. The material gets sprayed throughout interior spaces using specially designed metal wands to produce an atomized or fog of the material. There are several YouTube videos of how to apply the material.
