The leg fairings (mains) for our RV6A need to be replaced from wear/tear. I have the replacement fairings from Vans and my son is diligently following instructions, templates and advice for trimming them to fit. However, an RV7 builder at our airport suggested that we use an adhesive - in addition to rivets - to more strongly bond the hinge halves to the fairings. He said he used ProSeal - which is apparanty a very expensive ($150/pint) fuel tank sealer, but said there are likely other adhesives that willl also work just fine.
Can anyone here recommend one? All other suggestions related to the replacement/fabrication of the leg fairings are welcome as this (including fiberglass work) is all new to us - but we're eager learners!
