Prosealed the Rudder Trailing Edge

This is proseal. It's a 2-part epoxy "glue" that's used extensively in aircraft construction. The main place it's used on the RV is sealing the fuel tanks. I'm using it here for the first time to glue the trailing edge of the ruddder together before riveting as recommended in the plans. It's really a mess and gets everywhere. The thing that makes me laugh for some reason is that this stuff has NO KNOWN SOLVENT. Nothing will melt it! Now that's a glue! Hope I didn't get it on my favorite shirt.



Here's the rudder all glued on the trailing edge. It's clecoed to a heavy piece of aluminum angle to keep it straight while the proseal is drying.
