...Holy Cow!  I applied a bit o' positive pressure to the strake and 
found leaks in the floor from behind the front seat bulkhead to the RG 
bukhead on the first side.(gonna be a few days of drying before side 
'b')..these leaks are coming UP from the floor, so they have soaked from 
the sidewall of the strake all of the way down to the floor.......This 
could be like flying a fuel bomb!...Anyone else with similar probs? I 
painted the interior of the strakes years ago VERY heavily with 
cab-o-sil and mutiple coats of epoxy...When things are dry on both sides 
I am going to sand the ENTIRE interior ,,,apply neg pressure to the 
strakes and paint with thinned/heated epoxy the whole area 
(large)...OK?  Better way?        JC
