white vinegar and surface preparation

Hello,

I'm curious about use of white vinegar to prepare surface on carbon blank before gluing handle, reel seat, etc.
I know vinegar is use before painting plastic, but on carbon blank ?

Vinegar will damage the blank ?
Vinegar make a good surface prep before gluing ?

Thank you.

Read the "surface preparation" article in the library for an article by a real expert.

Thanks.

Why use any liquid, you don't need it and who knows what it might do long term as it is acidic.

It won't hurt your blank, but it will not prepare the surface in the same way that a de-glossing will. Vinegar would only serve as the solvent in the initial cleaning process to remove oils, wax, grease, etc.

White vinegar will neutralize the reaction that occurs in a 2 part epoxy, keeping it from curing.
