   Regarding spraying the Jeffco fuel sealer, we used a gravity fed primer
gun with a large (2.2) orifice.  We used about 60 psi of air pressure and
mixed about a quart of sealer, which did one wing.  (We mixed and applied
the sealer used to roll on the bottom skin and brush the corners
separately.)  If the mix for the sprayer was too thick, my builder added a
very small amount of acetone to thin it out a little.  We were able to
easily do both of my wings with one gallon of sealer.
   If you use this method, cover yourself as much as possible, especially
your hair.  Once the sealer starts to harden, it's a bitch to get out.
