| Subject: | Witness Paint, What to Use |
What type of paint can be used as a witness paint for bolts and nuts. I guess it
should be a little thick and dark in color, preferably with its own brush
attached to the cap. I was looking at ACS but didn't find anything specifically
for this. I was thinking on auto touch up paint found in auto parts but this
type of paint tend to be very thin and it might go around the bolt. What about
nail paint?
Any suggestion?
Thanks,

| Subject: | FUEL TANK SEALANTS |
Hello Gaggle:
I have been fighting leaking fuel tans for a while. The tanks are aluminum
and sealed with PRO SEAL or the equivalent.
Since my engine likes both AvGas and MoGas and MoGas has ethanol I would
like a sealant that can stand up to both.
Stop - I know about the trick of removing the ethanol from MoGas but that is
only about 90% effective.
I would like to run straight MoGas.
Would anyone out there have any experience in this area?
Thank you for the assistance.
Barry

>From what I have seen Pro Seal is what Vansused to sell and it seems it
will stand up to MoGas as long as you don't let the tanks sit empty. I have
seen pro seal turn to gue after it had sat for long periods of time (and I am
talking years) so it might be the vapor more than the actual fuel that
causes the degradation.
Van's now sells Flame Master and I am not sure if it is reformulated or
what but you might want to call Van's aircraft and ask if it will stand up to
MoGas

| Subject: | Re: Tube Bender. |
Paul you are a star..I set up your jig a la the photo earlier on the thread and
it worked really well. Like you mentioned earlier it is an iterative process
(slowly slowly) but the result on the front hoop is that it is a pretty exact
match to the shape of the canopy.
On the subject of the groove mentioned earlier it is not necessary. I also found
that the 19mm shutter ply dented in after several bends to form a small gentle
bend that maybe helped.
If I had to repeat this exercise I would probably bolt both elements to the jog
instead of using screws as the screws seemed to provide a little "give" which
does really help the process.
PS. I didn't notice any flattening of the hoop and I did not fill the hoop with
sand (which I probably should have done).
