Brief Description: Continued work on upper fuselage parts prep
Did some miscellaneous tasks tonight, first deburring and then priming the F-1202B Panel Base and Upper Fuse Skin. Decided to do more firewall sealing by both applying more of the high temperature sealant on all the exposed nutplate rivets on the forward side of the firewall and then some additional clear silicone sealant to the interior side of the firewall as additional protection. The clear sealant is good to 350 degress F so its not as highly rated as the firewall red silicone on the forward side but its good backup and not as messy as the red type.
Began to add rivets to the canopy ribs and will finish that next. Will then add some final parts to the Panal Base before installing it.
