Michael Salter was kind enough to inform me that the vacuum chest of the
servo is steel rather than aluminum, as I had stated.
So, what follows is Sandstrom's application protocol for steel:
"Application on steel. Pre-clean the steel surface with aliphatic
naphtha or any other EPA compliant cleaner that sufficiently
cleans surfaces to pass ASTM F22. Sandblast the surfaces with 180-220
grit aluminum oxide (25-50 RMS optimum). Phosphate
IAW MIL-DTL-16232 (weight should be 11-22 g/m2), type M, class 3 or type
Z, class 3."
Any comments from those who may have used the Sandstrom dry lube
products in the past?
Thanks.
Bob
