Brief Description:  Continue to Rivet Stiffeners

Noticed that while back riveting the stiffeners my rivet gun was scratching the inside of the tank skin. Used scotcbrite pad to buff out the scratches. Put tape on the rivet gun and ran a line of tape on the skin to prevent further scratching. Completed the wet riveting of the stiffeners using the C-frame. Cleaned dried sealant off the outside of the tank with scotchbrite pad.

Scuffed and cleaned the area around the fuel drain and cap flange. Wiped both down with MEK to complete preparation prior to assembly with sealant. Applied sealant and cleco'd parts into place, used popsicle stick to make fillet around each part.
