Silicone sealant is the usual method. BUT, don't put any silicone near
surfaces that are not yet finish painted. If there's any silicone on a
surface you are trying to paint the paint won't stick.

Subject: REFLECTOR: Canard Cover
I am currently working on finishing the construction on a XLFG. Question,
how do you seal the cracks when you put the cover over the canard wing? The
rear crack is close to the avionics and radios and I certainly would not
want any water coming in this point. I thought about putting a bead of
silicon here but this panel will need to be removed periodically for
maintenance. I am curious what other builders have done.
