Seal or not seal ??
I took mine off recently with the help intention of painting the wings. Originally they were fitted with countersink bolts, but I also sealed the edges with black tiger seal. On re-fitting, I am wondering it’s worth the bother of sealing the edges. What have you guys done with yours ?

Don't think I bothered the last time I did it but some sealant around the bolts is probably a good idea to stop them eating the ally...dissimilar metals anorl that

Not seal ....

I didn't seal mine, water will get in so I'd rather it just drained out again.

I have never had mine sealed. To seal it needs to be good enough that water cannot get in. If it is no that good a seal you wan the water to be able to get out easily. I didn’t even bother with the foam tape a lot of people recommend and again never have. Mine is also fitted with countersunk bolts rather than rivets.
