Cold ProSeal is my new friend. After asking on the RV7 group, the consensus was to chill the ProSeal but not mess with the hardener ratio. I kept the ProSeal tube in the fridge right up until I needed it. It was slightly harder to mix, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I also kept a bucket of ice water nearby and dunked the whole gun in that while I was riveting. Worked like a charm. I had 1.5 hours working time and probably could have gone at least another half hour. It also helped that the shop was 10 degrees cooler. That at least made it much more pleasant for us.
With Julie’s help I sealed and riveted in the last three interior ribs in the right tank and smeared ProSeal on the shop heads, including the ones I couldn’t do from the last session. I also had enough time and ProSeal to do the anti-rotation bracket for the fuel pick-up. I could have even done more stuff, but didn’t have anything else ready to go.
This tank is well over half way done. That’s a good feeling.
