Just an FYI: Chapters 27 and 28 mentions using “proseal” to seal the firewall seams. The plans offer no further explanation than this. Proseal is proseal right? No. My Tech. counselor pointed out this is high temperature sealant not the stuff used on the fuel tanks.
So just for fun I put a propane torch on a small sample of cured proseal left over from the fuel tanks. This stuff burns almost as well as marshmallows! The fact the can says Flamemaster (Company name) doesn’t help clarify things either. I know it’s probably ‘in the archives.’ But unless it was pointed out I would have not known there was a difference. Hope this save someone some grief. Good news it was caught before I used the wrong sealantJ

I just want to make sure I know what product you set the torch to. Was it Proseal, or was it the Flamemaster stuff that Van's sells for prosealing things like trailing edges.

Good catch. Van’s sells two products and both are made by Firemaster. The one I put the torch to is the Fuel Tank Sealant (part# MC-236-B2 quart size.) The other product CS1900 Firewall Sealant is the high temp product.
