I had a plan to begin riveting from the center out to the edges. Now realizing I need a sealant at the leading edge brings in a time factor. Was going to use some of the leftover Lord adhesive but that starts to set up in 30-45 minutes if I remember right. Because this will be a two man rivet crew I'm not sure how long it will take with all the "special" rivets to buck surrounding miscellaneous brackets, hardware, overhead console mounts, etc. I don't have any proseal left over but wondered what other sealants were suited for that forward overlap seam? Rtv, silicone may not be good for under paint? -------- Dave Ford RV6 for sale RV10 building Cadillac, MI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=448996#448996 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:14:45 AM PST US From: David Clifford Subject: Re: RV10-List: Sealant for top skin I used Pro-Seal on my build. Stay away from anything with silicone. I would buy some more Pro-Seal and keep any extra in the shop. It comes in handy for a lot of things and when My can runs out, I plan on replacing it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "rvdave" Sent: Sunday, November 8, 2015 8:04:51 AM Subject: RV10-List: Sealant for top skin Getting ready to put on the last top skin overlapping the cabin top.
