True or False: In a fay seal, you will apply sealant to the top of the ground stud after the parts are all assembled.

A fay seal is a type of seal used primarily in aircraft and aerospace applications to ensure that joints between metal parts are watertight and gas-tight. The correct approach involves applying sealant to the surfaces that will be in contact before the parts are assembled. This means the sealant is applied to the joint surfaces, such as the edges of the parts being joined, rather than on top of any studs or components after assembly.

Once the parts are assembled, it is generally not appropriate to apply sealant on top of individual components, like the ground stud, as this could interfere with the proper function of the joint or connection. Therefore, it is essential that the application of sealant in a fay seal scenario is done prior to the assembly to ensure a proper and effective seal is achieved.
