I am not far from having to start on the tanks so I have been doing plenty of research. The tank building method in the build manual makes sense to me but does sound a little messy.
I like the sound of the fay sealing method but there's a little voice in my head saying: "if it is better, why don't Van's tell you to do it that way in the manual?".
I would be very grateful of any advice for and against the fay sealing method from those here who have perhaps made tanks using both methods and any other sagely advice before I start. I have plenty of MEK, clean lint-free cloths, popsicle sticks and dozens of pairs of latex gloves. Do I need anything else other than the usual industrial dose of proseal and patience?
Sorry if I'm covering old ground here.
Thanks,
Matt
