So the other day an acquaintance stopped by the hangar. We started talking about proseal as he is in the process of re-sealing some tanks, and he suggested using it basically on almost everything that is riveted, not just the tanks and trailing edges. He's ex-Russian military and said they used it on virtually every skin-to-rib attachment, including on all the rivets. He said something about it adding extra structural integrity on the off chance you experience a flutter event?
Is he pulling my leg? Anybody else ever heard of this or do it themselves? Can't see that it would really hurt anything (other than adding some weight and making a mess), but doesn't seem to me like sealant would add much in terms of actual structural integrity to be worth the hassle?
Personally going to pass on doing it, but just curious and thought I'd throw it out there to see if it's really a thing?
