[rebel-builders] Firewell caulk
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:29 pm
I used the firewall sealant from Vans: CS 1900. You can order from their
online catalog. Here is the info from Vans:
---
Firewall Sealant
Sealant for Firewall Structures
CS 1900 is a compound for sealing firewall structures. It is elastomeric at
operating temperatures from minus 65 degrees to plus 400 degrees F and
able to withstand flash temperatures of 2000 degrees F. This product can be
used as a perimeter firewall seal on existing aircraft or during
construction of
new aircraft. In new aircraft, as the skins are being installed, the flange
of the
firewall should be coated with a thin layer and the skin riveted on while
the material is still uncured ("wet").
(Limited shelf life of approximately 4 months from purchase).

Hello All
I am getting ready to rivet Fus-10 & 70 to the firewall I was wondering what
is the best thing (fireproof) to use to caulk the large gaps between the
tabs on the firewall?
