Hi
Not for the steamer but I'm hoping someone may be able to help as I've failed in repairs 4 times now. I am looking for a semi hardenning petrol gasket / flange sealant. (Modern fuel eats through the various loctite and hylomar sealants I have tried)
For those that are curious its for a guel guage sender flange that has slightly warped when the PO used a replacement bolt that was too long.
(Mods: If I've commited a sin by posting this here please delete)
We use two part polysulfide based sealants to seal integral fuel tanks, ie: wings.
Go visit your friendly neighborhood AME and ask if he has any expired sealant he'd give you since he can't use it on planes anymore.
Warning, this stuff is extremely nasty and will stick to everything. Clean up is with Methyl Ethyl Keytone.
MEK :?
Haven't come acrosssthat stuff in a long time, along with Trike ..... :roll: What happened to the good ol' days eh? Days when you could happily dissolve your lung if you weren't careful :lol:
