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?
