22. To provide a clean caulked
seam all around the panels:
apply painters masking tape
to the outside perimeter of
each of the panels about ¼ “
from the top, bottom, left and
right edges at each flange
joint. The tape will be
removed just before the
radome caulking has had time
to set.
23. Open each seam wide enough
to install a good bead of
silicone caulk, apply loctite to
and firmly tighten all of the
bolts in that seam (Smaller
beads of caulking can be
applied from outside and
inside if you prefer).
24. Clean excess caulking off of
the flange area (inside and
out) like was done in step 11
above.
25. Repeat caulking, closing and
cleaning the vertical flanges
until all of the upper panel
seams are closed.
26. Remove tape from the vertical
seams.
