The instructions mention using 'C' clamps and large spring clamps to assist in squeezing the ProSel out and getting a better fit. I can't picture where these clamps should go. Nose skin tip to baffle ? Side to side ? Anybody got an idea ? I could use the advise to picture how these go, Thanks, Bill -----Original Message----- From: rv8-list@matronics.com Sent: Tue, 6 Mar 2007 2:57 AM Subject: RV8-List Digest: 0 Msgs - 03/05/07 * ================================================= Online Versions of Today's List Digest Archive ================================================= Today's complete RV8-List Digest can also be found in either of the two Web Links listed below.

I squeezed these rivets since they were easy to access. I inspected my fit after cleco to ensure I did not have any "bubbles" between the skin and the baffle. I think the intent of the c-clamps was to ensure your fit was smooth and flat (ie no "bubbles" or "bumps"). Also, if you can ensure your pro-seal application is even along this seem, then you will have a better fit as well. My buddy and I have completed four tanks (rv8 and rv7) with no leaks. I erred on the side of no leaks when applying pro-seal in this seam and so went a little heavy. However, I have no leaks. Anyway, good luck. Hope this helps. My least favorite work so far has been with pro-seal, followed closely by fiberglass work.
