Today I filleted the interior ribs in the left tank and covered the rivet heads. I did this using a paper funnel (like cake decorators use) and it worked amazingly well! Here is the funnel before it's loaded with the proseal. I made it out of regular printer paper.  This is the fillet it creates. No popsicle stick necessary to smooth it out, the tip does it as it dispenses the proseal. It even injects it in the small crevices and crannies!  Here it is loaded with proseal. I rolled the top down and squeezed it to dispense the proseal. It holds about 1.1oz of mixed proseal. (In this shot it's about half used up)  Then, I moved on to miscellaneous tank work. In the picture below, I soldered the 15in long wires to the bulkhead BNC connectors for the capacitive fuel senders. Later, I also crimped some connectors to the end of two 48in long wires, screwed them to the capacitive plates, and covered them with proseal.  Here, I filled the tooling holes in the aft end of the outboard ribs with a big ol' rivet. Then I covered them with proseal to prevent leakage.  Finally, I installed the fittings on the inboard tank ribs. From left to right, these are the fuel injection return line, the fuel vent line, and the BNC bulkhead connector. I'm letting them set a day before I clean them up a little bit.  And here is what the other side looks like.
