I always seal the engine compartments (after and over the overlapped covering) with epoxy thinned with alcohol. Even 5 minute works for this as the alcohol slows down the set time.
Over the coating?


And what happens if you later have to remove the covering? How does it look?

Thanks.
You seal the edge of the covering where it overlaps the firewall. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough on that. This is very standard procedure in most circles. This prevents fuel and oil from the engine compartment from working is way under the covering.

As to how it looks, you don't see it. It's under the cowl, in the engine compartment where you have done the rest of the fuel proofing.
