Matco recommends the Aviation Red or Silicone fluid in their service
manual. You may want to contact them if you have any concerns about using
the silicone.

My preformed 601XL 6B2-3 bottom longeron, as pre-bent by ZAC, does not match
the radius of the cut of the bottom skin. The radius of the bend in the
longeron is longeron than the radius of the cut in the skin. If pressure is
applied to the longeron so that the forward end meets the skin then there is
a gap at the apex of the curve. Clearly some tweaking to the bend is
necessary.
Looking at the longeron thickness of 0.093 in (which I believe equates to 10
gauge), I'm not able to find a Shrinker Stretcher at a reasonable price that
handles anything larger than 16 gauge aluminum.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so, how did you solve
re-bending the 6B2-3 bottom longeron?
How are you scratch builders handling this?
Thanks in advance!!!

One of my longerons wasn't quite the right shape either. It wasn't too hard to
adjust the bend to fit. Figure out where to make the adjustment and then make
it a little at a time. Grab an end of the longeron and swing it down and slap
that area against a suitable surface to tweek the curve in the proper direction.
Once you get it close to the proper shape, you can clamp it to the skin and
drill it. As long is it's close, the rivets will give it its final shape.
