Brief Description:  Continuing prosealing the left fuel tank

I thought I would have more free time during holidays but our schedule was full of family and friends activity. Work also took a lot of my free time in December, hence why no updates. And although I do this update, the actual time shown was spread over the the 28th & the 29th, 3 hrs each day.

Also, since I have to wait for the MDRA inspection before closing final the fuel tank, I am thinking of filling them with water (66% heavier than fuel) . First I would need to add more support around the tank to prevent the heavy water to put extra stress on the rivets / skin . ThenI would be able to see if the proseal is done correctly up to the rear baffle position. If a leak shows up, it will be much easier to fix than after the tank is closed final. Of course the final 1 psi pressure check will still have to be done, but at least I will know that most of the tank is sealed properly.

The proseal on the right tank appear to have dried up welland seems to be done correctly. I am curious to see if it seals as planned !
