On Page 28-13 Step 2: “It is recommended to use a thin layer of Pro-Seal between the firewall flanges and the fuselage skins. Apply Pro-Seal to the lower flange of the F-1000A Firewall Bulkhead then cleco the Firewall Assembly to the F-1072 Fwd Fuse Bottom Skin as shown in Figure 1.”
With all the discussion in the past week about aluminum heat boxes in front of the firewall, as I read this step it got me to wondering, are they talking about the regular Pro-Seal or the high heat “Firewall Sealant” available from Van’s? In the steps, it doesn’t say or I don’t see any implication as to why they are suggesting the sealant. Is it to hold the structure solid like the trailing edges of the wings, or is it to try to seal any engine fumes from making it into the cabin or ????
