Using the Jeffco 9700 sealant from Lancair. When I mixed up the first batch for the bottom skin, I mixed way too much! I think I mixed 16 oz. of Part A with 8 oz. of part B for a total of 24 oz. Way too much! You only have about 20 minutes to get it on. I only got about 8 oz. on before it started kicking on me. On subsequent batches, I found it best to use two syringes (without the needles), one 6 ml for part A 3 ml for part B. Draw up two syringes full of each and mix into a cup. My Wife and I each took a cup of 18 ml and painted it on. The timing was perfect. When we got close to running out, one of us would mix more while the other kept painting. We wasted very little in this manner. I also found it best to paint it on rather thick and try to get an even coat. Before it gets too thick, use Pat Weston's light trick to get the pin holes covered. Don't get the light too close to the wing skin. The light is very hot! We put a mirror in the bottom of the bay to see up under the capstrip lip. Started with the lip first then the sides and finally the bottom of the bay. Happy with the results so far. We will not know if it worked until the wings are closed. Mike ===== LNCE N811ES 5% arrow54t@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
