Hi,
I am a little confused after reading section 5 and tape instead of proseal. Lots of build logs talk about scuffing and masking the area where the trailing edge will go, to aid the proseal in sticking, but Section 5 is silent on this as far as I can see.
Is this still required if using the tape instead of the proseal?
Can I prime both the skins and the trailing edge piece, if using the tape, as I was thinking otherwise there may be a source of water wicking and future corrosion (as I don’t know if the tape has the same properties as the proseal).
My gut feeling is I should prime both and use the tape onto the primer (perhaps with light scuffing).
What has everyone else that used the tape been doing?
Thanks all in advance. Sorry if it’s been covered somewhere before or in section 5 - I may well have missed it.
