Getting ready to put on the last top skin overlapping the cabin top.  I had a plan to begin riveting from the center out to the edges.  Now realizing I need a sealant at the leading edge brings in a time factor.  Was going to use some of the leftover Lord adhesive but that starts to set up in 30-45 minutes if I remember right.  Because this will be a two man rivet crew I'm not sure how long it will take with all the "special" rivets to buck surrounding miscellaneous brackets, hardware, overhead console, mounts, etc.  I don't have any proseal left over but wondered what other sealants were suited for that forward overlap seam?  Rtv, silicone may not be good for under paint?

I used Pro-Seal on my build.  Stay away from anything with silicone.  I would buy some more Pro-Seal and keep any extra in the shop.  It comes in handy for a lot of things and when My can runs out, I plan on replacing it.
