Hi Dan,
I would not use Proseal. It is primarily used for sealing fuel tanks because
of its high resistance to chemical attack. Save it just in case you need it
later if you develop leaks in your fuel system. There are much cheaper
solutions.
I would also stay away from silicone sealants. They do seal well, but you
cannot paint over them or the surfaces they have contacted, ever. There are
some good marine grade non-silicone caulking, such as BoatLife, that will do
a good job of sealing. I think their generic class is called polysulfides,
or something like that. I intend to seal all of the mating fuselage surfaces
and the rivets on at least the top and sides of the fuselage to keep
rainwater or melting snow out of the cabin.
Good Luck,
- Chuck -

Hello!
When can I rivet the cabin top (fus 28) to the bulkheads? And the
bottoms (fus 39 and 40)? I'm putting in spring gear.
I have no more proseal and plan to use silicone calking for an air
sealant around the cabin. Sounds good?
