All surfaces are bonded but there are no static wicks. I've been in clouds, rain and light icing as high as FL 270 without observable degradation in the avionics department. Imron is a pain, but the results are worth it. At nearly 200 hours there is no leading edge abrasion. Also, if you intend to polish the finish, try to do it within 72 hours of application. After that it gets really hard. Good luck, Merrill Smith >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
