Brief Description:  Started ProSealing the stiffeners to the right tan

Started ProSealing the stiffeners to the right tank by 100% clecoing the Prosealed stiffeners to the skin as suggested in the VAF forum builders tips. There was good ooze out from around the edges. Using a small radius stirring stick, I formed a filet of proseal around the edges. Gene Galati suggests waiting one day and then wet riveting the parts together to avoid the slippery mess associated with trying to rivet the parts immediately. As far as Prosealed clecos, he says they will come out fine and the extra proseal on the clecos will make them better grippers and the destructive accumulation should only be seen in the industrial setting after heavy use.

Tomorrow, I'll see how this works out when I remove every third cleco and wet rivet. The 30 ml of proseal was enough for all but four of the stiffeners. Tomorrow I'll finish the stiffeners and rivet the stiffeners from today. I may be able to do the fuel tank cap and drain.
