Hellol, all



I have received several requests for the ppt file.

Since at least one of the requesters had a problem with his in-box, I uploaded the file to YouSendIt, where it'll stay for another 6 days or so.

 I do not know if there is a limit for the downloads, but I think not.

Here are some tips:



0) I assume you have already built the parts - the tips below are for the pro-seal "ceremony" only.

0.1) the only tip here is: make the parts fit tightly, no gaps allowed!!! 

1) plan each work session in detail 

2) before going for the real thing, make a small batch of pro-seal and put two scrap parts together, just to get the hang of it - and to understand how much of the stuff you need to cover an area "about this size". 

3) plan each work session in detail 

4) prepare a bit more than just enough pro-seal for the work you are going to do in one session

5) have a bunch of paper towel cut in 6"x6" squares, wet in lacquer thinner, at the ready. 

6) have additional paper towel cut, dry, ready for use in case you did not prepare enough wet ones. 

[(5) and (6) above will help avoid having to explain how pro-seal got on the toilet seat (no, it did not happen to me, but it does not take a lot of imagination to figure it could have happened).] 

7) plan each work session in detail

 keep the wet paper towels covered to minimize the fumes in the room (I used a biscuit tin) - although the most disagreeable smell comes from pro-seal ("fart in a can"), the strongest comes from lacquer thinner. 

9) it follows that ventilation is very important!!!

10) did I mention planning yet?

11) use gloves all the time - people who worked with this before recommend vinyl gloves, as latex dissolves with lacquer thinner. Guess what, so does vinyl, just a bit more slowly. 

12) wear clothes you can discard if "contaminated"

13) planning!

14) no interruptions during the work session!!! after you start, you are committed !

15) break the work down in steps that you can perform in separate work sessions. For instance, I started riveting the fittings - they are small and take little time to do, so ideal for training. I then proceeded to the baffle: rear and bottom in one session. Then the sides, rear and bottom in one session. Then a big, long session to zip it up. 

16) planning. Seriously. Every night, when I would go to bed, I would go through the steps of the next working session. I prevented a number of blunders this way.

17) every rivet is covered with pro-seal before being inserted on its "resting place" 

1 a bit less hardener in the mix will allow you longer working time. But don't mess with it, or it will never cure...

19) they say "don't overdo with the pro-seal". Right, but more is better than less! ! ! ! 



I read in one of the web sites (or the RV list): the worst part is *before* you get started. After you get going, you'll see it's not that bad. BTW, planning helps a lot.
