Applying New Seals
JJ,
Do you agree with the requirement for heat?

I haven't tried heat, it may work. The proof is in how long it stays
down. The stuff isn't cheap and quite a bit of work to replace. I have
used a heat gun to help remove the old DBS. Heat it up till you can
roll up the goo with your thumb. No problems since I started sanding
both surfaces. The mylar on my Genesis is about 9 years old now and
none of it has lifted. I even used 2 or 3 layers in places to build up
a low spot after replacing the left aileron with an early unit that
was a tad thicker.
Cheers,
JJ
