It is easy to use, and easy to remove when access is required and no leaks. I have done the SB on covers which were installed with Proseal and cannot recommend that route. What a pain!

Check out the wing span of a DA-40, as well. They are 44 feet, if I have that correct. Not going to work with my 42 foot hanger. Also, keep in mind that the door frame often sticks out a foot on either side, so the actual door opening can be 2 feet smaller than the box itself.

I had already started my site before I knew about expercraft.com, so I think I'll stay with what I've got. Besides, since I'm a software guy, I always think I can do it better than someone else! :-) -- Mickey Coggins http://www.rv8.ch/ #82007 finishing do not archive ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 10:40:16 AM PST US Subject: RV-List: Re: Sealing tank inspection covers From: "Rick Galati" --> RV-List message posted by: "Rick Galati" Bob Collins wrote: > Since my tanks won't be filled for a couple of years (at least, at thisrate), is there any problem with using Titeseal now. Is there anyproblem,for example, with cork drying out and affcting it, etc. etc.?- The Titeseal is not likely to dry out. My tanks went empty for well over 2-1/2 years before the introduction of fuel. I found that over time, excess Titeseal would slowly run down the tank sides. I simply wiped the excess ooze away. The Titeseal that remains and oozes from the perimeter of the cork gaskets continues to be "gooey" to the touch and will probably remain so. My guess...and this is only a guess.....Titeseal applied to the cork gaskets now will keep them soft and flexible indefinitely and there exists much less chance of the cork drying out over time as opposed to shelving them exposed to the open air for several years. Of course, stowing the cork gaskets in an airtight ziplock bag over the long term would probably accomplish the same thing.

A LOT of them :-) do not archive ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 01:54:48 PM PST US From: Richard Dudley Subject: Re: RV-List: Sealing tank inspection covers --> RV-List message posted by: Richard Dudley Hi Dan, I used the light version of Titeseal. However, if I were to do it again, I would use the Medium. The light is low enough viscosity that any excess creeps down the root rib and across the bottom surface of the tank. I found the material had run into the sump valve. So, for several weeks, I had to remove the valve and clean a small amount Tite Seal material from it. I would expect that the viscoity of the medium would reduce that tendency. At this time, I am finding no sign of the material on the sump valves.
