Hi All-
I'm in the process of sealing my tanks and I've chosen to go the messy route and rivet the ribs while the pro-seal is still wet. I'm kind of curious if most folks who have gone this route clean most of the pro-seal off of the "shop-head" end of the rivet before bucking but after inserting the rivet in the pro-sealed hole... of course we're not cleaning the sealant out of the hole, just cleaning up the tail of the rivet so you can see what the heck you are bucking & then follow up after riveting with a dab of sealant over the shop -head. Or do most people just power through the muck & hope the rivet is set properly? Kind of a dumb question but really curious as to other's method to the madness.
