DO NOT USE SIMPLE GREEN ON AIRPLANES!!!!
That stuff etches aluminum.

Nonsense. Diluted to proper levels it is harmless. On fabric or paint
it
has no effect. Used properly it is fine for aircraft use.



The problem is it (and just about any other liquid) will leech into the
joints between panels and there it sits and does its chemical thing. Sure,
it's fine on the surface of the aluminum, but that's not where the damage
occurs.

Go ahead and use it properly, but you've been warned...

If you let it leech into the joints of bare aluminum you are not using it
properly. On a properly painted surface there should be no chance of it
leeching into bare aluminum.





It's not a matter of letting it - it will do it. Inspection panels may be
properly painted, but it will get between the surfaces.

Like I said, you've been warned.
