* You will need Fuel Tank Sealant that is not included in the kit. You will definitely need more of this in the future; if you buy the [https://store.vansaircraft.com/2-5-lb-flamemaster-integral-fuel-tank-sealant-pro-seal-mc-236-b2.html larger kit] you can store it in the refrigerator for later, or you can buy the [https://store.vansaircraft.com/3-5-oz-flamemaster-integral-fuel-tank-sealant-pro-seal-mc-236-b1-2.html smaller kit] just for this section. | |||

* This may be your first time using sealant -- I suggest buying the larger 2-can kit from Van's and storing in your refrigerator. You'll need to use a lot of it in the future and it will store for a long time. I mix with a popsicle stick and then I use it to spread on the trailing edge like a spatula. I run the popsicle stick sideways to remove excess. | * This may be your first time using sealant -- I suggest buying the larger 2-can kit from Van's and storing in your refrigerator.

I recommend using a piece of wood on the outside to simply press against the skin to bend it until it gets fairly flush. Then you can hammer against that outside piece of wood to make it even flatter. Finally, you can use your rivet gun with the flat mushroom set on VERY LOW power to make the seam nice and defined. Absolutely make sure you have wood (not metal) on the back side of the skin (just as specified in the instructions). | I recommend using a piece of wood on the outside to simply press against the skin to bend it until it gets fairly flush.
