Small cracks, chips, paint defects


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I’m a proud owner of a 2007 CTSW, approaching 1100TT. The other day I gave the airplane a good wash (PH neutral soap+ distilled water). I noticed a few hairline cracks, a chip, and one 2in area where the paint seemed to bubble up. From what I’ve read these things are normal, after all it is a 13 year old airplane.

I live in a dry desert climate and the plane stays in a hangar. Regardless, I’m wondering if I should do anything to seal these. Maybe I should seal them up with epoxy or something else to prevent water intrusion? Or are they fine to leave as-is? Including some pics here as well.
