Since the previous E-Log the following tasks have been completed:
- Panel spacer rods installed at 4 locations in each tank (two top, two bottom at approximately 1/3 and 2/3 the way across)
- Spacer rods expanded only slightly to begin compressing the rubber window spacers while still leaving at least a 8mm gap between window and frame
- Window and frame around seal area masked off with masking tape
- Sealant was applied from the outside using a plastic cone tip with a copper tube attachment to allow sealant injection to the bottom of the sealant cavity. The process involved having one person inside the tank to make sure the sealant cavity was completely filled with no voids. A total of 42 of the 20oz. sausages were required. Two spare unopened sausages remain.
The sealant will now be left for 2 weeks to cure before water is added to the tank. |
