I'm New Here
I purchased a RV-4 and have flown it for a year. My mechanic doing the annual says that the Service Bulletin 11-9-13 was not complied with, sloshing sealant was used and it is flaking. What are my options?

Today I pulled my tanks in order to get the slosh out and fix a few leaking rivets. I opted to pull the rear baffle instead of the access holes. Come to find out, the rear baffle was closed up completely using blind rivets. Before I order a bunch of blind rivets (countersunk) is there a special rivet I need, or will any aluminum blind rivet do the job? I found some on ebay with a 1/4" grip. Also how do you seal a blind rivet? each tank baffle has over a 100 and none showed signs of leaking.
