Today, I riveted the three ribs I had prosealed yesterday, but had no time to do the fillets and proseal the rivets

While waiting for the proseal to cure, I begun riveting the leading edges. I managed to finish the upper skin on one side.

Today I begun assembling the second fuel tank by prosealing three ribs that will get riveted tomorrow.

Today I first riveted the three ribs I had prosealed yesterday. Then I riveted the outboard end rib. First I riveted the nose reinforcing plate (the 6 rivets on the right), then I squeezed all the rivets. I surely prefer this method of riveting, but the proseal having had no time to cire I noticed it makes quite a mess.


Then I did all the fillets on the ribs and covered the rivets. I finished by installing the vent line.



Here is a picture of the pick-up bay with the vent and return line. I'll rivet the inboard rib later as I'm still missing some tools to torque the nuts on the lines.

Today I riveted the ribs I had prosealed yesterday it goes like this: uncleco, clean the hole with a deburring tool and acetone, put some proseal in the dimple with a toothpick, put in a rivet and shoot it. As the proseal holding the ribs is already cured the rib stays in position, and as the only uncured proseal is the small amount in the dimple, the work is not messy at all. I noted that some rivets are standing a little proud of the skin, I drilled a few out and replaced them. I will deburr the holes a bit more.
Then I prosealed three other ribs to be riveted tomorrow.
As usual all this finished with a clean-up
