Some brackets were made incorrectly, leaving the hole way too small.
Contact Van's for advice if you're in that situation.
If it is just a little undersize (Van's called this a "tap fit", it was
more like a "mallet fit" for me) -- I used a dremel tool with a sanding drum
to clean out primer and debur/smooth. Go slow, don't remove too much.

I prosealed it and was happy with the results. I don't know about your
aileron, but my TE was quite warped before prosealing -- it would seem
to be difficult to keep things lined up nicely during riveting without
the proseal.
Also, note that the rivet callouts for the TE are wrong -- use 3.5's.

Bill, RTV works also. AS does clear silicone. What you are aiming for is something
to dampen any vibration to isolate a potential trailing edge crack. Hey
did not see you at the last 309 meeting. Still involved?
