REFLECTOR: BID Tank Sealing & Fuel Gage

[Bob Kuc]

Just take the baffles , put duct tape on the upper
strake and then place the bid on the baffles and
duct tape.  Then you have an exact match.  When
you seal the upper strake, your flax mixture will
have a larger area to grasp to.

I did the same thing back in 1998.  I tracked down
the picture, but I can't remember for the life of
me how I did this.
