Brief Description:  Riveted in the interior ribs for the left tank, in

A full day of sealant and riveting. 50kg of sealant was enough to coat the edges of two ribs. I fullly cleacoed the two ribs and then formed the fillet edges. Riveted in the two ribs. (Overall the sealant wasn't bad. I kept a bottle of MEK to hold the cleacoes that I pulled during the riveting process. Along with a soaked rag of MEK, it also made for easy clean up of the bucking bar, rivet gun, and the finished rivet heads) 80 kg was enough to rivet in the next two ribs.

Final touch up required another 30 kg to coat the shop heads of the rivets and touch up the fillets along the rib edges.
