First ProSeal session!
First thing I ran to Wal-Mart to get a few more supplies. (Digital scale, kraft paper, cups and an apron).

Mixed up a small batch of proseal and got ready to start my first rivet. Here are the steps I used:

1) Blob proseal on interior rivet line and used puddy knife to spread evenly.
2) Dabbed proseal in dimples on exterior and inserted rivets with tweezers. Covered with rivet tape
3) Wiped ooze from rivets.
4) Smeared proseal on stiffener and placed on rivets.
5) Back-Riveted!
6) Dabbed proseal of heads of rivets and 'filleted' as much as possible.
7) Cleaned up the mess and moved on.

Prepped and ready.
First prosealed stiffener
4 Stiffeners complete
