I have a company trying to sell me a Lazer welder, they are of course promoting this thing as the next best invention since sliced bread.
The weld speed is faster, and the penetration appears to be good, but the welds appear scruffy at best, (I am used to TIG welding.).Most of my work is on...
I have an aircraft wing which has developed filiform worm between the skin and the paint.
I am now looking at the best way to deal with it.
I realize that all the paint has to come off the affected areas.
After the paint is off, I am looking at Phosphoric acid, then Alodine unless anybody has a...
This thread was started in 2003 by Scott Wertel, and for a while, in fact several years, it was a lively thread. Then Alibre started its own discussion group about 5 years ago and this group has withered on the vine. For a couple of years now I have been the lone poster At age 80 I am...

This wire wrapped fastener lock, looks interesting. I was thinking of using it in an aircraft application instead of elastic stop nuts. However I cannot find any certifications that would enable it to be used as such . The maker says they are working on it, but I find little usage so far. Has...

For years the preferred rubber for aircraft fuel cells/ bladders, has been nitrile or Buna N . This has worked well with most Avgas including 100 octane low lead.
Now the Feds are working on getting the lead out, switching to several proposed fuels: 93 octane unleaded with more aromatic...
