John,

 

For large gaps, I used expanding construction foam.  Wind Loc makes a gun that allows very precise placement of the foam.  The good part is that it is easy to remove if ever necessary, and adds no weight.  I used it for the gaps around my front wing brackets (on an ES-P).

Many of you have supplied very useful tips in response to my questions.  Since then I've found some substantial leaks that are probably the issue.  I wonder if others have had leaks in the tunnel under the spar box that hydraulic and fuel lines go through?  I have a significant one here and I fear I will have to stop it in order to get adequate pressurization. Has anyone else dealt with this after the lines are all in and the a/c is flying?  I think I can seal up the tunnel front and back but it will likely take a good bit of some kind of goop to do it.  

 

Thanks for any advice.
