Floats sealant

Post by tazin river »

Afternoon folks

What the best stuff you use to seal minor leaks on floats? Mostly
Along rivets.

Cheers

Are there no float operators on here? Have you tried PRC?

I used sikkaflex 292,usually found at boat service centers.
Cleaned area with brake clean,let it dry & then apply sealant.

Call Goulet aircraft supply at Winnipeg. They sell a sloshing compound that seeps between the seams. Sixaflex works great on the outside seams as well.
