Jon,

  

 Don't drill out the elevator, you will likely do  more damage than the lack of silicon will cause. If your elevator does crack,  and that is only a maybe, then you can fix it later. Build  on.

		  Help!

I'm slowly working my way thru my elevator only to realize i did the final  

riviting before I put a dab of silicone or sealant between the stiffeners.   

How important is this?  Should I drill out all the rivits and do it  again?

Thanks

jon



  



If you're still worried after the previous posts, try running some of 
	


that 1/4" translucent semi-rigid tubing from  the building supply into 

the trailing edge from the end. On my elevators, I could slip it in past 

the stiffeners. If it will fit in yours, you can force the silicone into 

the tubing a couple of inches, insert the tube along the trailing edge a 

measured distance to the innermost stiffener, & force the silicone out 

with a little compressed air.
