I had the same problem until I discovered the Zolatone people make a aerosol powered compact spray gun that used to cost less than $20. This was much more compact and easier to get into small spaces. Next time I am going with Jeffco tank sealant for its fluid resistance and ease of cleanup in the gear wells and inside belly of the fuselage. Hyd. fluid, oil and anything else could soak into the unprotected prepreg otherwise.
