Hi Rick, I finished my 10 tanks a few weeks ago and I know how you feel.
It's even worse when you have proseal added to the equation isn't it! I
lifted my skins out of the cradle a bit, shoved the rib as tightly as i
could into the leading edge portion and then pushed the skin back into the
cradle to wedge it temporarily in position. Then i clecoed from the trailing
edge forward and it seemed to pull them into alignment. I also found it
easier to clecoe the top skin/rib first since it has more curvature, then
the bottom. Hope this helps, don't hesitate to hollar if you have questions
about leak checking. I'm no expert , but i think mine came out pretty good.
