I didn’t get any pictures of the actual process since the sealant is sticky as hell. \u00a0Literally, everything that it touches will stick and you can’t get it off without a fairly aggressive solvent like MEK. \u00a0Anyway, I used one of the tubes of sealant available from Van’s that is ready to be mixed. \u00a0It was kind of a waste since you only use maybe an ounce on the trailing edge wedge. \u00a0After mixing it, I used the Semco sealant gun I picked up on eBay to put a thin bead down both sides of the wedge then spread it smooth with a popsicle stick. \u00a0It was then just a matter of clecoing on the angles that I already made. \u00a0I put clecos every hole to provide even clamping pressure (you can see just a bit of sealant oozing out of a couple of spots along the edge).<\/p>\n
