Thanks Scott. Seemed to make sense to me.
I used a small welder's wire brush to scuff the tank skin seams per the suggestion in the RV6 Build Manual. It left a good surface for the sealant to bond to and rode over and around the dimples easily.
Just my 2 cents

PS - only used for pro seal joints btw - other wise I used Scotch Brite over the top of the dimples everywhere else.
They really recommended using a steel wire brush on an aluminum joint? I like an aluminum oxide based abrasive best.
