The sealant spoons might be the right tool for the job for fileting the sealant. I found that popsicle sticks that I got from a craft store were a little too big for the rib filets. At work we have wooded coffee stirs and those worked much better. :D
This stuff is a mess and there is just no getting around that part. I did it all wet and survived. Buy lots of disposable gloves so you can keep changing them. I got the hint of wearing two pair on top of each other. |
Thanks
Hey folks, just want to thank everyone for all the suggestions and experiences. I started sealing the tanks yesterday and decided to take it slow and just proseal on the retaining ring on the inboard rib. After that exercise I came away with even more questions and am again seeking forum assistance :o
I ran into some issues with squeezing the rivets. For the life of me I could not avoid cleating over way too many rivets. Anyone else have this difficulty? Anything I need to know when it comes to bucking slickery rivets? At what point can I apply more proseal on top of the existing stuff? I see a couple spots that I'd like to see more proseal in, but should I wait 3-5 days for the stuff to cure fully, or is it ok to add more at any time? I also need to put some over the new rivets I drilled out and replaced this morning and don;t want to add more proseal prematurely. Thanks again... -John Spring, TX RV-7 (Wings) |
