>Is there a good discussion of how to use alodine?
There is a fair bit of stuff on the web. I found this site the other day

Subject: Treating Hinges
I have a question for the group regarding rudder hinges:
It was mentioned to me that the rudder hinges are pre-treated against
corrosion. However, after cutting the hinges, the edges are all bare
aluminum.
Furthermore, during the hinge pin installation, I mounted the hinges in a
vise, and I am afraid I might have inadvertantly scratched them, removing
the
corrosion treatment in some areas. Am I being overly concerned? Should I
bother treating the hinges again?
As for corrosion treatment, the Europa manual suggests alodine. I searched
in
many places but only found bits and pieces of information. (a company
website perhaps?) For example,
how does it affect the strength of its bond to fibgerglass?
Thanks!!
