Gary,

Alodine is a chromate conversion that is usually applied to bare aluminum for corrosion protection and a base for painting the aluminum. As for a pretreatment for hysol, I'm not so sure. This has been my business and livehood for about 33 years and never have had a question like this. I think that if you rough sand paper the part you might have a better adhesion than with the Alodine. It was designed for paint adhesion

Does treating an aluminum part with alodine affect the ability of Hysol to stick to it?

As long as we’re on the topic, these (forward hinged) canopy hinge brackets look like they already have some sort of coating on them. Did anybody else add some sort of protection to these things, or am I just overthinking this?
