2 more ribs down... 8 to go.
Ran to Wal-mart for rubber gloves but they didn't have them in bulk. I did pick up some cheap tupperware cups to use as mixing bowls.

TIP: Proseal is sticky, gooey, THICK stuff. Trying to mix it in paper or plastic cups is difficult. WalMart has these tuppoerware bowls for .63 cents for 2. They work great!

Had to run to Home Depot for rubber gloves.

Back in the shop I started seating the next rib. It came out well.. went better than my first.

Before proseal
Proseal glopped on. (At this point, just use a plastic putty knife to smooth it out to the right thickness.)
Inserting rivets (I have some hemostats that work perfect.)
Rib complete!

(Time: 2 hours)
