Abstract

A protective lining which includes a self-curing potting sealant compound. The lining can be used for an aircraft part, such as a tank wall liner which can be manufactured in-situ by casting the sealant into a prepared mold that is formed at least at the bottom side by the part to be protected by the tank wall liner. Specifically, for fuel tanks, the bottom portion forms the bottom side of the mold, whereas the ribs and stringers form a circumferential wall of the mold that prevents flowing of the potting sealant compound into neighboring molds.
