Fuselage May 2007 Updates May 14, 2007 More Riveting & NACA Vents - 2 hr Finished up the last rivets on the aft top skin. Its unreal how many little scratches gets on the skins. I used a sctochbrite pad to even them out. It just looked to ugly with some skins looking really new and others all scrached up. Next I checked the date on the proseal tube and it was about up so it was time to get the NACA vents installed. I have seen others that did not use rivets and told me they prosealed them in with no problem. I mixed it up by hand in the tube and got out my trusty proseal gun I bought on Ebay a few years ago. Worked like a champ. I used an old paint can lid and duct tape to keep pressure on the vent while the proseal sets up.
