Brief Description: Sealing rivet shop heads inside left tank
Today's shop session was dedicated to sealing the rivet shop heads inside the left tank. I also did a once-over inspection and found a few rivets needing a little touch up sealant. There were also a few slight voids found where the rib flanges meet the skin which were touched up just to be sure. I plan to go over each seam and rivet one more time with a light and mirror but I think the tank is ready for the rear baffle.
I have also contacted a fellow RV-8 builder in the area and asked for a courtesy "consult". I figure a second pair of experienced eyes would be a good idea considering how difficult leak fixes can be after the tank is completely sealed.
