Help!
I'm slowly working my way thru my elevator only to realize i did the final
riviting before I put a dab of silicone or sealant between the stiffeners.
How important is this? Should I drill out all the rivits and do it again?
Thanks
jon

Jon,
Don't drill out the elevator, you will likely do more damage than the lack of silicon
will cause. If your elevator does crack, and that is only a maybe, then
you can fix it later. Build on.

Jon,
I did the same thing on my first set of elevators. I talked to the tech guys at
Van's and they said not to worry. The elevator skins are now thicker than in
the older kits and the cracking has not been a problem as a result. Don

If you're still worried after the previous posts, try running some of
that 1/4" translucent semi-rigid tubing from the building supply into
the trailing edge from the end. On my elevators, I could slip it in past
the stiffeners. If it will fit in yours, you can force the silicone into
the tubing a couple of inches, insert the tube along the trailing edge a
measured distance to the innermost stiffener, & force the silicone out
with a little compressed air.
