Dave;
According to Van's you don't actually need Proseal in the rudder. Go to the
FAQ page on the Van's website and download the PDF called "materials used
in Van's aircraft." It's 24 pages of very useful stuff, including this:
==========
Before doing the final riveting, put
a dab of RTV or tank sealant at the inside of the skin where the two
stiffeners overlap. This will tie the stiffeners
together. A dab about the size of some chewing gum will do the job and
prevent the skins from cracking at this
point due to vibration.
===========
So, all you need is some sort of goop in there....doesn't need to be
Proseal.

I was just at the AFS website looking at the page for the primer/sealer, and
saw this:
=====
Spraying - reduce with distilled water to 20-25 seconds Dupont M50.
=====
Which I assume means to thin it to a certain point. Dupont M50 is obviously
a measure of viscosity...possibly measured by pouring a liquid through a
calibrated funnel and timing it???
Is anyone who's using the AFS primer doing this? Is there some sort of tool
used to measure it?

--> RV7-List message posted by: Bob Collins <bcollins747_1999@yahoo.com>
I notice that Aircraft Spruce doesn't carry Fuelube
anymore. I bought Bakerseal thread sealing and
lubricating compound instead. I'm wondering if anyone
has used this on the threads of the fuel pickup tube
fitting in the tank and, if so, what do you think
about it?
Also, should I Proseal around the fitting inside the
tank, the sleeve and nut etc?

On page 323 bottom left of the Spruce catalog " EZ Turn Lubricant is the
functional equivalent of fuel lube". I bought a can which is enough for
about 5 airplanes.
