All of my emp. parts are done with the exception of anything that needed prosealing (e.g. trailing edges and trib tab foam blocks). Having never used proseal before, I just wanted to check re: the following:
1. For cleaning trailing edge parts prior to closing, should I clean with MEK or lacquer thinner, or is something else necessary?
2. I'm attaching my trailing edges to aluminum angle while the proseal cures--should I insert and remove the clecos numerous times, clean them (with MEK?) each time until I think they are remaining proseal free?
3. Does proseal require a use of a respirator mask? I have one, but was hoping my wife could help me (I'm trying to do all emp. trailing edges in one batch). Do I need to get a second respirator? (The label instructions on my 3.5 oz tube of proseal say nothing about how to use it--or what its dangers are).
4. Once the proseal is in, and the edges clecoed together with the aluminum angle attached, is it OK to just take the weight off the control surface and move it around (and move on to the next control surface) or should I leave everything weighted down in the same place until the proseal cures?
5. How long is long enough for the curing process?
Thanks,
Steve
