[QUOTE="kalninm, post: 452710, member: 18635"] I did clean the aluminum and rough it up with sandpaper I didn't use a chemical etch though. How would a chemical etch effect any reaction between 5200 and aluminum. Also no where on the tube did it say anything about prepping with a chemical etch, just to make sure there was some roughness in the surfaces to bond to, at least not anything I saw I'll put it that way. What specifically should I have done to prep it? [/QUOTE]
