In order to splatter they are supposed to
be sprayed on normal to the surface (90 degrees).  The problem I ran into
was in the nose wheel well where it's impossible to get the spray gun
anywhere near 90 degrees up deep in the well.

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.
