• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

While rigging up the rudder, I liberally sprayedWD-40 into the strap hinges to lubricate them. Now I want to paint the rudder, and I can foresee lubricant oozing out and messing up paint. What's the best approach to degreasing these hinges? Soaking in a long narrow trough of degreaser?



Or...can I just soak/degrease the exterior just prior to paint and get away with it..
