There are at least a 1,000 Proseal posts, and I feel like I've read them all 1,000 times! Very good tips to be had in just about each post; however, there is one thing that concerns me about cleaning Proseal off the skins after driving rivets:
I'm serious, this is about the only thing that I haven't seen posted regarding the use of Proseal. It may actually be in post 1,001 -- I'm still reading!
If I use Naphtha or Acetone to clean the excess mess off the skins just after riveting, what keeps the solvent from weeping under the rivet head and weakening the seal? From what I've read the manufacturer says that Proseal can be thinned with Toluene, but that using any other solvent degrades the sealant. So, what keeps these other solvents from degrading the sealant under/around the rivets? Is this something I shouldn't be worried about? Or, maybe I should use Toluene to clean excess around the rivets?
