Lancair sells a Jeffco grey two part epoxy used as a fuel tank sealer-- works great.

Rob,
 
Wet lay up canard aircraft frequently use resin to seal the fuel tanks.  Talk to one of those if you can find'm.

Another question for those who have gone before.

 

The L360 manual which I am using, in the section on the header tank construction, says that I may seal the inside of the tank with primer and then tank sealer (“PRC 1422” is suggested), or  with “two thick coats of resin” (page 11-34).

 

I am interested in what others have found to be the best way to go. As I live in Australia, the resin option is much easier than importing the sealer. However, I suspect there may be more to this decision than just the cost and simplicity advantages of resin. I would really appreciate any advice that others may be willing to offer.

 

Thanks again.
