Gas Tank sealant
Can someone tell me how much sealant I will need to do my RV7A fuel Tanks. I will probably order in separate containers and mix my own as to work at my own pace.

I ended up needing to order a second can. I got all of the ribs for both tanks done, but when it came to the baffles I was short. I also went a little heavy on the pro seal, didn't feel like doing the tanks again.

I used more than 1 can on the tanks. Don't be stingy with it.
I am still pulling out the can of goo on occasion and have used it for various things while working on the fuselage and finishing kits.

Sealant
I used two quarts, probably didn't finish the second one. Filleted everything per Rick Galati's posts. Haven't leak tested yet but don't expect any.
