Best of luck to you and everyone down there recovering from the hurricane.
Keep on keeping on! You’ll get the leak fixed and on to the next step. 😃👍🏻 And hope you have power soon too!
So you think that was bad. Mine bubbled all the way down the side. I was so pissed. The instruction on UA-cam by Van's is a little miss leading. SO I riveted out all the baffle resits and cleaned off all the sealant and essentially started over with a clean baffle. Then on re-applying the sealant I made a bigger bead very close to the rivet holes so that when I slid the baffle down it would come in contact with the sealant and smear it down the side. I tested it after two days and the only leaks I had then were around the AN fittings which I just tighten up a little and no leaks were observed.
Wow. That’s how I felt after the first tank. So on the second I made absolutely sure that baffle was well sealed. Will find out for sure in just a few days.
