I have an aluminum post covering a wood post on my concrete screened porch at the base. Would I scrape off the rusted aluminum part before I treat it with something like Rust Reformer?

This was really exciting until I realized the price of this mod is the same cost as the saw. The whole point in buying one of these saw is to save money in the first place so I don’t see how it could be justified. Maybe at like $100 but definitely not $300

Yeah. It's fine putting a $60 keyless chuck on a $100 drillpress to reduce runout because that turns a cheap little drillpress into a great little drillpress, but the price-per-unit is just too high to justify putting a $300 hydraulic cylinder on a $400 saw. Maybe for a $1400 saw, but there's too little bang-for-buck for what I need to do. Edit: this unit looks well-engineered and the quality of the parts look consistent with the price, but there already so many modifications you have to do to make a $400 metal bandsaw saw usable, particularity in upright-mode, that a $400 saw will become a $2000 saw by the time you're done with it. Oh well. It is what it is.

I think with aluminum you have to get rid of the hard oxidation scale for the acid in self etching to do anything. The catch is now you've already roughed up the surface so normal primer will also work. At the end of the day, self etching is only worth it for extreme corrosion or abrasion applications, then it's usually combined with a zinc compound, and you still need to abrade the surface first.

The “patina” is oxide from the detergent and water Alodine first, then use a zinc cromate primer.

Zinc chromate primer. This has been well known for almost 100 years. It's sold by most boat dealers or marine supply stores and on Amazon.

Thanks, I wish I saw this before today. Just used Dynaseal to coat the inside of my aluminum hitch toolbox to keep my tools from getting aluminum all over them. I already had the dynaseal, so sanded with 220 and laid it on. If it doesn't stay ill try the ACE. 👍

I believe it is pronounced PATINA with a P, and it comes from the oxidization of aluminum due to the cavitation of the water on the surface of the aluminum. Same thing happens to aluminum trailers, boats etc. Excellent video, thank you!

every modern airplane is aluminum and is painted we've been doing this for a century. get an AC 4313-B manual and follow that method. Clean, degrease, acid etch, wash, alodyne, wash, DTM epoxy primer , top coat , clear coat if its a base/clear.

That black-ish patina on your aluminum stock is probably due to silicon, copper, etc. contaminants in the aluminum mix oxidizing after the vibratory media has removed a lot of the base aluminum stock. The various "grades" of aluminum have various amounts of contaminants in them depending on the type. For example 1xxx is almost pure aluminum, and the amount of contaminants goes up with each grade designation, e.g. 1xxx has the least and 7xxx has the most. Your stock is 6xxx so it has quite a bit of other stuff in the mix.

painted aircraft and missles for the USAF for several years. Used zinc cromate primer on all aluminum to prevent the blackening which is corrosion. Not sure that primer is even available now because of its composition.

What you need for aluminum is the green zinc chromate or zinc phosphate primer as used on aircraft. Wouldn't surprise me if it was mandated in aircraft manufacture.

Upon exposure to the air, bare aluminum develops a thin layer of natural oxide. This patina layer is thin, transparent, tough, and protects the aluminum from corrosion. From GSA (General Services Administration).

Thanks for this! I’m using the 1” square aluminum tubing for a project on the outside of my house, so it must be painted. I can’t tumble it but I can surely sand it. Then acetone. Then Ace primer. Then topcoat (colormatched Rustoleum in a can.) Yes?

Hi Andy, I purchased this kit not quite 2 years ago and have struggled to get it to stop leaking out of the T fitting where the tube leaves the fitting and goes into the speed valve. I have had this leak since installing it in the fall of 2021. I have replaced the T valve and tubing but it continues to leak. Any help would be appreciated. I am almost to the point of wanting to try and replace the plastic push fittings with compression fittings but have no idea what to buy. In all transparency, the kit is great but I think the plastic fittings and tubing don't hold up well in my garage in Phoenix where the temps get up past 120º since I don't have it air conditioned.

Thank you!!! I must have watched this when deciding on primer for an aluminum threshold. The black top coat has held up amazingly but I didn't remember which of the numerous brands I have on hand that I used. I came across this obscure ACE Primer in my arsenal and thought I remembered it out shining many others. Checked and sure enough it was your amazing test that convinced me. Now I can prime and paint 2 more French Door thresholds with confidence.
