Proseal of Odds and Ends - 2.5 hours



Managed to squeak in a bit of work this evening on some small stuff. I riveted on the fuel drain flange using the squeezer. Access with the no hole yoke is great and it went quick and easy. A bit tricky to keep the inside of the drain clear of proseal. Once the assembly was riveted I used a toothpick to remove the excess sealant.
 
 
Then, using the poly wipes, I worked at removing the excess proseal. The wipes do a nice job at removing the proseal as they are not sloppy wet (they are kind of dry) and since they are thin. Its really easy to get detailed and get clean edges on cleanup.

Next was to attach and seal the anti-rotation brackets for the aerobatic fuel pick-ups. I used a popsicle stick to dap the sealant where needed.


Using an AD6 rivet, I cut it down to the proper size to fill the outboard rib tooling holes. With a dap of proseal I wet set them and squeezed them (with thanks to my tandem alligator squeezer). Once done, a good dollop of sealant.
