I let it set slightly over the last 2 days and now it was ready to shoot the rivets. Remove every other cleco, dip the end of the rivet (the part that goes in) in just-made sealant and shoot it. After those are done, remove the remaining clecos and do those.
Spent 20+ minutes cleaning up the mess of sealant on the skin with MEK solvent....and it's done! And a first test fit of the fuel cap.
NEXT SESSIONS:
- Seal the fuel tank cap in place (some grinding down will be necessary to get a flush fit). Fuel drain is en-route (I ruined the one I had for this tank), so when that arrives that also must be sealed in place.
- Bend the drain tube and connect.
- Apply the more liquid sealant to all internal seams and rivet heads.
- Retest of right tank.
- Right wing down and start on the left wing!!
