What's the best way to fill the step hole. I'm building an RV8 not an A, I didn't realize the skin would have the step hole in it.
Is it just a #40 hole that show you where to cut out for the step? If so, the plans call out to just dimple it and install a rivet to nowhere. At least that’s how it is on the 7
Just a basic sheet metal patch. Fair it with some proseal.
Since this thread is about patching I dont think this hijacks it.
Scott, you said to use proseal to fair it out. Why proseal and not any of the epoxy or other products designed for fairing body work? I only used it on my tanks and that was enough! Maybe I have missed something good. Probably better for areas that flex? I didnt think it got hard enough for body work. Just curious
Just my choice. It is my go-to for a wet seal of two pieces of aluminum. I have no such fear of the south end of a north bound skunk .
I looked on Vans store and couldn't find the step kit, does anybody have the part number for it? I'm considering putting a step on.
I have searched for WD-832 and it doesn't come up in Vans store. I thought there might be a kit with a different part number.
