| Subject: | windshield sealant |
The product I used was clear, paintable, rubbery, came in a tube and is called
Lexel, I believe. I found it at Ace hardware, the only place I could find it
then. Don't know about a 3M product though.

JB weld is a good product for that application.

Are there any A&P's on this list that can anyone advise me why the ends of
four new studs appear to be the same and yet are not? The shorter threaded
end screws into the hole easily, while the longer threaded end does not go
in easily or accept nuts by finger tightening.

Marty -
Studs are designed to be an interference fit. Put a little lube on the fat
end and jam two nuts together on the loose end. Use a wrench to drive them
to the desired depth. Remove the nuts and install the appliance.

Marty,
Studs are threaded differently. The 'cut' is what is different. The
shorter end usually goes into the case, whereas the longer end attaches
something and uses regular nuts. Also you may find that the thread on the
short end is coarse thread and the long end is fine thread though both may
be 1/4x20. Also the short end thread cut is made in a way to 'bite' into
the mounting hole so that it does not easily back out when you remove
whatever it is that the stud is holding, ie carb, exhaust flange, fuel pump,
etc. If you have an engine/parts manual or rebuild book it will list the
proper stud with appropriate Lycoming parts #. The parts # will then tell
you what kind of threads that you are dealing with. What studs are you
dealing with and on what engine? You must use the correct studs for each
application.
Hope that this helps,
Mike H 9A/8A SOLD

An award winning RV builder (Rod Bower)
http://www.ramairforhomebuilts.com/Photos/RV8/default.htm gave me a
great tip for this and appearances as well. he uses a diluted mixture of
Pro Seal, wipes it around all of his rivet lines to partially fill any
creases/voids and irregularities around the rivet head and the
skin/dimple. Said it only took him a couple of hours to do his RV8.

Well, you don't say where these studs go, but from the description I'm
thinking they're intake or exhaust studs???
Those studs have different thread counts on each end ..... and may be of
different diameter on each end depending on your engine.
And there's the possibility that they really are different studs ......
and got mixed up at the suppliers ...... the right bin right next to the
wrong bin when stocked.

Les,
The manufacturer recommends thinning be done with Toluene, although many builders
have used MEK successfully. Lacquer thinner is about 92% Toluene. I've used
it many times to thin ProSeal, when straight Toluene was not available.

I'm not 100% sure, but when I was doing the tanks, the best solvent for
ProSeal was MEK, it doesn't evaporate as quickly as Acetone, and if I
recall correctly it seems to cut the pro seal a little better.

Garey,
Use ProSeal. Wipe the excess off with a bit of acetone.
Or go to any auto body supply house and tell them you want a tube of
paintable sealant. They can fix you up.

Gary,
I've never heard of the silver windshield sealant you refer to. The sealant that
Vince referred to is called 3M Drip Check Sealer. Auto body shops use it to
seal sheet metal seams. It's paintable and easy to use.
