Hi, I am preparing to finally rivet down the Fwd Fuse Top Skin. I was wondering whether it is worth the trouble to proseal the rivet lines (see attached photo) to prevent any moisture leaking into the cabin area? Or is this not even an issue worth considering?
Thanks,
Jae

Jae, it won't hurt to do it, but it probably isn't going to do very
much for you. You'll be painting all that area anyway. Also, the
windshield fairing will cover a lot of it. If I were doing it
all over again, I'd fill the rivets from the outside, on that
forward deck, and the seam along the sides.

Right, I forgot about paint. At this point, I have no idea how long it will be to get painted, so I'll probably do a bit of sealing esp. around the sides and the firewall then.
Thanks,
Jae

For what it's worth. I put etch, in prep for priming and body work on all
aluminum and the front upper area. I used my fire hose nozzle to get all the
etch out of the sides, bottom and top fusellage.
No water leaked in anywhere. If it can take the fire hose pressure it will
not leak in my mind.
