Default etch....desmut.....deoxidize.........weeeeeeeeeeee eee
Im currently using the following prep steps....

* SP cleaner @ 140degrees- varied times
* Desmut/deoxidizer @ 110degrees- 1 minute

What im wondering is should I add an etch step, or should the caswells desmut/deoxidizer take care of any oxide buildup on the aluminum(in the case the parts have sat around awhile after polishing/bead blasting)?

Thanks
