Tank prep continued
Hours: 5.8 | Posted in Fuel TanksFinished deburring the left tank skin and ribs and dimpled all parts. Scuffed sealing surfaces on both tank skins, all the tank ribs, stiffeners, rear baffles, fuel cap & drain flanges, inboard & outboard rib reinforcement plates, and the tank-to-fuse attach angles. Cleaned the left tank skin, stiffeners and ribs with acetone until the rag wiped clean, in prep for sealing. Etched, then primed the Z-brackets and attach angles for both tanks in a miniature “paint booth” made of cardboard. Should be ready to start slinging Proseal in the next session…
