AFTER REVIEWING THE ARCHIVES, SOMEONE PROSEALED , CLECOED, AND LET THE
TANK SIT FOR SOME TIME. HE LATER RIVETED AND CLAIMED NO LEAKS. I APPOLGIZE
FOR NOT ATTRIBUTING THIS PROPERLY TO THE WRITER. HAS ANYONE ELSE DONE THIS
AND WHAT WAS THEIR OUTCOME?
IS PROSEAL PART OF THE PACKAGE FROM VANS (ALREADY PREPAID)? HOW LONG
DOES IT LAST UNOPENED OR AFTER IT BEEN OPENED?
I'M PLANNING TO DO EACH TANK SEPARATLY. ANY WORDS FO WISDOM ARE
APPRECIATED.

No. Proseal is not included in Van's kit. They do have a very good price for
it in thier catalogue.
I would not suggest letting the tanks set up with the clecos in. I think you
might have a tough time getting the clecos out and a still worse time getting
the rivets in the holes partially clogged with proseal. Believe me, Van's
instructions are well thought out and usually the best way to go.

Hi, David. I don't know about letting the Proseal set up before riveting. I suspect
the main thing that would happen is you'd have a hell of a time cleaning
the clecos. It is a messy job however you do it, but not really all that bad.
Van's sells the Proseal in the accessory catalog, but does not suppy it with the
kit. It is supposed to have a shelf life of I think 6 months, but keep it in
the freezer, and it will outlive you. Mine is almost 2 years old, and I still
have half a can left, and it is still fine. I am using it for sealing the
firewall, etc long after doing the tanks.
You might want to break it up into several work sessions, not just one per tank.
For example do the ribs one session, the baffle another, and seal the ends
another. Have a helper or two. One can be kept busy just cleaning clecos and
general mess. It really isn't as bad as it is made out to be. The worst part
for me was the MEK for cleaning.
Sorry to hear about your slooow Quick-build. Steve Sampson on the list had it
even worse. He waited a long time to get his in England, and it arrived badly
damaged. Long sad story.
