ProSeal --> RV9-List message posted by: "John Oliveira" I also, don't understand the pro seal trailing edges. I had no problem getting strait trailing edges without any sealant. I did the empennage surfaces about 18 months ago, and just finished the last one, the right flap, just followed instructions and routed a flush spot in the table top for my back riveting plate and made sure the table was straight. the only place I used any sealant so far other than the tanks was on the foam ribs for the trim tab, and I used a marine waterproof bedding compound that I had around. By the way, I might be a little warped, I did not think the pro seal was so bad on the tanks. Just a little tedious.

Plenty of builders have accomplished thier TE's without goop.

If you must, use the blue RTV this will not harm the metal. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn Brasch" Subject: RV9-List: RTV Vs.
