My plan was to use Jeffco fuel tank sealer on the bottom of this area as it 
should be highly resistant to hydraulic fluid, you can't see the ugly gray on 
the inside of the bottom skins, and that's where the fluid would puddle.  On 
the inside of the top skins (which only fellow Lancair builders see) and the 
cockpit closeout rib (which is visible to more people) I was going to use 
Zolatone.  I'm expecting Zolatone is sturdy enough to protect against 
splashes of (not puddled) hydraulic fluid, water and mud.  I'll paint the 
inside bottom before gluing on the stub wing skin.

FWIW, I'm painting Jeffco fuel tank sealer on the inside floor of the plane 
from the firewall to the seat back, but only in areas where there aren't 
already 2BID applied (i.e. I won't do it between the consoles).  I had the 
opportunity to see the results of a hydraulic pump leak and there was fluid 
all over the place.  It would be good to keep this stuff from soaking into 
the core.  If you have brakes, you'll spill brake fluid, if you have hy
draulic lines, you'll spill hydraulic fluid, etc., at some time or another.
