Last proseal session
I thought the wings were ready to go, but remembered one more thing I needed to do. Proseal on the access covers since I had to remove them for the service bulletin. I got everything prepped and cleaned including a few other items that have been waiting for Proseal. It was a very easy session.
I prosealed the NACA intakes for cabin air in place and held them there with Duct tape until it set. Some people use rivets as well. After struggling to pry off the fuel tank access covers, I think Proseal is more than enough to hold them. If they ever fall off, I’ll use rivets.
I made some seals for the forward deck hatches. I put some sticky plastic wrap on the covers and scuffed the skins. The idea is that the Proseal will stick to just one side and make a homemade rubbery seal. Before all of that, I had to remove the blue plastic, deburr, and dimple the skin. So sad (not) that it’s the last skin that will need to be prepped.
I also squirted some Proseal into the gap at the bottom of the external steps. Probably wasn’t really needed, but might as well.
