Cleaned and etched the frame today.

---------------------------------------------------

I elevated the frame so that I would not have to bend over so far while cleaning and etching.

The gray water tank straps are stamped for ease of reinstallation.

Marine Clean was used to clean and degrease the frame. It was applied with a spray bottle at a 1:1 mixture cleaner to water. The frame was then thoroughly rinsed with water and allowed to dry.

Next, Prep & Ready is applied full strength with a spray bottle. After 20 minutes dwell time, the frame is again thoroughly rinsed and allowed to dry.

The zinc phosphate coating becomes visible when the metal starts to dry.
