Left tank rivets

April 3, 2011 – After cleaning the sealant from the rivets for the baffle on the left tank, I found that many of them were sitting a bit proud of the surface. Since I never change the depth of my countersink, I can only assume that the difference is the sealant.

I went down both rows and gave the rivets some love with the gun and a light bar. They’re better. Not baby-bottom smooth, but better. To fix the problem for the right tank, I did adjust my countersink.
