Manual Reference:  Section 26
Brief Description:  Started sealing the fuel tank

The instructions say to be prepared to spend at least three hours on the operation and then breaks it down into three operrations. I don't know if the three hours is per operation or for the whole shooting match but they undersell it.

Working with ProSeal requires tons of gloves and lots of cleaning, none of whih is included in the estimate, I'd guess.

I scuffed up all the parts previously and just before starting, wiped them all down with MEK (fun stuff!).

Then it's a matter of mixing ProSeal and slathering it on the appropriate flanges. Building the RV-12 fuel tank is a lot easier than the 7A as pulled rivets are less messy. I was able to get through one full operation and half of the second when the building heat (102) and fumes seemed to be giving me a message.

Got everything done up to and including the two end stiffners. I also dabbed ProSeal over every shop head. I kept hearing George Orndorrf's old advice from when he put out RV construction videos. I wonder where George is now?

Lots of ProSeal on rivets makes for tough cleaning later. But it must be done.
