I hate to ask this but how often do you need to "reseal" tanks? I have h
ad my 1977 Cheetah since 1981. Over 5000 hrs. No leaks.

Only needs to resealed when it leaks. Not that common.

I put this under old wives tales. If it leaks, odds are there was a bubble i
n the sealant when it was sealed. Or a small spot was missed. I've got a 74 T
raveler That's never had the wings opened. Another customer has a much misus
ed and abused Cheetah with no wing leak history. One plane has been crashed t
wice, nothing serious, wings bonded and still no leaks.
On the other hand, I had a 2004 Tiger with a leak from the factory. Several s
erial numbers later another 2004 is dry.
It's the luck of the draw.
