Hi Joe,
I will begin assembling my AeroVee in the near future, so these posts on that subject caught my attention.
The AeroVee assemble manual, REV U, calls for Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket #3 or Flange Sealant, but other posts here say the #3 is not up to the task. Shall I follow the assembly manual and hope for the best?
Terry
