here is an old trick I used.

using scrap pieces of fiberglass cut to make a boot similar to what we have around our control stick. On a clean nonstick surface, coat of fiberglass with an even, generous slathering of silicone. Then work this piece around the tubing and over the whole just as you did when you cut it. Make sure there is a generous bond area and support from behind so that it will support a minimum 10 PSI.

the fiberglass impregnated with the silicone is incredibly strong-- but don't trust it.

John:

I used RTV to seal all the wiring coming in from the wings, along with the speedbrake cables and pitot tube.

I also cut out openings in the two covers that cover the rear spar bolts. I installed

nutplates and then made covers with gaskets so that I could remove the wings without

surgery.

At Las Vegas last month, I removed the wings, start to finish including fuel dump, in slightly less that 4 hours. ( I hope you have better luck than I did)

I'm attempting to button up the pressure vessel in preparation for first

where they enter the cockpit just in front of the rear seat on the floor.

Any thoughts on a good way to seal off these fuel lines?

Thanks,
