 Beech Musketeer tanks were sealed with Scotchweld.
 I do not think that it was as messy as Pro-Seal, Virg

KR> Spot welding aluminum tank

2013-10-27 Thread jon kimmel 
Scotchweld is a pretty good room temperature cure structural adhesive...I
call it out a lot in repairs.  If you use that I would recommend proseal
along the fillets.

KR> Spot welding aluminum tank

2013-10-27 Thread Craig Williams 
So I'm sitting around dreaming of flying my plane someday and contemplating my 
stub wing tanks.? The outer wing tanks are welded aluminum and that was fine 
but a bit pricey.? My mains are .032 aluminum sheet and I got to thinking how 
hard it was going to be to weld such thin sheet.? Poking around the internet I 
found that in fact you can spot weld thin aluminum sheet (see video) and as 
luck would have it I have a new 220V spot welder sitting on the shelf.? My plan 
is to use this technique to spot weld my tanks together and seal the seams with 
Pro-Seal.? Anyone heard of spot welding fuel tanks or aircraft skins?
