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.

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?

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?

I bought a can which is enough for about 5 airplanes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Collins" Subject: RV7-List: Attaching fuel pickup tube > --> RV7-List message posted by: Bob Collins > > I notice that Aircraft Spruce doesn't carry Fuelube > anymore.

Definetly proseal around any thing that penetrates the fuel tanks.
