9 Sep 2025 - 1 hour

I had a quick hour to work today so I took all the parts that I deburred last time and then scuffed the mating surfaces with a scotchbrite pad. This makes sure the surfaces are smooth but also gives the metal surfaces a little tooth for the sealant to bite into and cleans off any dirt that may have accumulated on them. I will give the surfaces a wipe down with some sort of solvent to further aid in adhesion but that's for tank sealant day.

Next step will be to dimple all the parts!
