Claim:
1. A method for providing a corrosion-resistant barrier between bolted dissimilar metals comprising the steps of: disposing film epoxy adhesive directly on a first metal member, wherein the film epoxy adhesive is an insulator; curing the film epoxy adhesive to define a cured film epoxy; applying a corrosion-resistant layer directly to the first metal member and a second metal member, wherein the corrosion-resistant layer is free of deposition over the cured film epoxy, wherein the corrosion-resistant layer applied to the first metal member does not adhere to the cured film epoxy; exposing the cured film epoxy through portions of the corrosion-resistant layer that are deposited onto the first metal member; and bolting the first metal and second metal members together such that the cured film epoxy is positioned directly between and separates the first metal and second metal members.
