• 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.

I'm to the point where I need to clean the old primer off of the fuselage on my Pitts S1C restoration project. Sandblasting makes me a bit uncomfortable. I've seen that go horribly wrong in the past. I'm sure there are other media that can be used in lieu of the black-beauty stuff that we've all seen but I'm not sure what would be the right thing to do. I was wondering what others have done to prep steel tube fuselages for priming.
