Day 18

Today we were able to finish sealing our fuel tanks. The proper speed sealant arrived. The 2-hour option was much better to work with than the 1/2 hour. We didn't get any pictures from our day. It was very quick and messy process. You literally only have a 2-hour work time. In that time, we needed to finish the main tank we had started, as well as the two additional long-range tanks. The process we followed was the same as the first time we went to do the tanks.

1. Make sure all surfaces are clean.
2. Have all parts and hardware organized and ready.
3. Mix the fuel tank sealant.
4. Apply small bead to bonding surfaces.
5. Using a tongue depressor spread the sealant bead evenly.
6. Cleco bonding surfaces together and check for alignment.
7. After checking everything is in place rivet parts together using proper length and style rivets.
