Final tank prep - 3.5 hours

Its funny when you say that you are ready to proseal but really there is still much to do. There is lots of holes to debur. This gets to be a long process. I managed to do the left skin and after have very sore fingers!

I need to go over each area where proseal makes contact with a nylon wheel brush. I used the air drill but soon found that the compressor just couldn't keep up and was running quite hot and the air was getting moist (the air dryer couldn't keep up). So I ditched the pneumatic drill in favor of the electric drill.

Takes a bit of getting used to to ensure good coverage and straight lines but I was successful in the end. The first pass is made, and then a second pass is done to form a criss-cross pattern. The key is to try to keep your lines/passes straight, while applying just enough pressure to score the aluminum but not dig too deep. Its easy to maintain the right pressure, but a little more tricky to hold it straight.
Going slow helps a lot. 


I managed to prep the skins of both tanks.
