Mixed another batch of goop 50/5 and installed sight gauge and end panel. Sight gauge went pretty well - got some sealant squeezing out into holes in side panel, but did not attempt to clean up - will wait for sealant to cure. Rear panel went on pretty easily. Sealed corners and stress relief openings. No way to put this stuff on and have it look neat, so I just slopped plenty into the corners and mushed around with my fingers. As long as I got a good seal I guess it doesn't matter what it looks like inside the tank.
Sealed a bunch more holes on the firewall and sealed the left side joint between the recess where the cowl mounts and the instrument compartment. Had to loosen up the fuel strainer and rotate it out of the way in order to access the rivets behind it. Seems like it would have been a nice addiition to the plans to seal these openings bebore torquing in the strainer.
Brought the tank into the house to keep it warm over night to promote curing.
