Brief Description:  Left wing fuel tank part #20

Didn't have much time today to do much, but I did set some rivets in the fuel tank. I removed every second cleco, removed any proseal stuck in the holes, cleaned the hole with acetone, and then mixed a batch of proseal.

I did one rib at a time where I completely filled the rivet hole with proseal, inserted a cleaned rivet and carried on down the rib line. Each rivet was seated, and then each rivet was set using 34 psi at 1 second. Turned out well. I covered each head with a dab of proseal and removed the remaining clecoes on that side. I will completely cover the entire flange area with a filet of proseal once all of the rivets are bucked.

By the time I was getting ready to flip the tank, my daughter opened the door and told me she was going to bed...no more riveting tonight. I'll have the remainder done tomorrow.
