I have some small wear areas that I have already patched but still getting some very slow leaks. I was thinking of trying this sealant kit.
Every time i patch it seems a new leak appears. My leaks are on the rear cones on top.
let me know what you think
thanks

Re: Anyone ever use This sealant kit for leaks

I have not used it, but I did a lot of research on it with my old SIB. Through advice on this forum I realized that my boat was on it's last leg and, at best I might get another season out of it if I used liquid sealer. So I deep sixed it instead of repairing. There are two kinds of tube sealant (that I found)..latex and liquid polyurethane. I have read mixed reviews on both. I had pretty much settled on the polyurethane because of prior experience with polyurethane sealers on wetsuits, boots, and other outdoor gear. I roll up my boat and I just didn't have the confidence that latex would stick over time.
That brings up another point. If you are going to store your boat rolled up, you will have to give either kind A LOT of cure time, exchanging the air frequently to ensure full dry and cure or the insides of the tube walls will stick together. That's not a good thing!

Excuse me....that should be liquid urethane....not polyurethane. NRS has this 2 part solution available. It's what they use for white water rafts in the western US.
