Here's the other side of the good rib

Laquer thinner really works good to get the proseal off, but you really have to rub. If you get the black goo on your hands, you can get most of off, but you won't be able to get it off completely. It likes to stay put in your old fart wrinkles. One other note. I was really surpised at how easily the ribs came out and back in (one at a time) when applying the proseal to the edges of the ribs. You would think that it would difficult to do, after the rigorous process of clecoing all of the ribs inside the tank skin. After applying the proseal to the edge of a rib and putting it place, I put one cleco in the third hole from the leading edge on each side to initially hold the rib in place. Then it was easy to put the rest of the clecos before starting the riveting process. I found that it takes about 22 cc's of mixed proseal for each rib.
