Maybe I am over thinking this, but I thought I would ask and I don't really have a second chance at this one.
I am getting close to putting on the back baffle of the fuel tank and I have a question about the sealant. Should the sealant coat the entire inside flange of the ribs? In the plans, it says to coat the inside edge of the flange on the end of each rib and a heavy glob at the corners of end ribs. Then a thin smear of sealant around each rivet hole.
It sounds like not all of the end flange of the ribs a get a coating of sealant.
It also sounds like the Zee brackets only get a smear of sealant over the holes and not the entire mated surface. True?
Thanks
