MMD Archives December 1996 1996.12.31 06 Prev  Next Sealant for Lead Tubing By Bob and Sonja Lemon We normally replace lead tubing with neoprene tubing. We seal it to the stack with automotive silicone windshield sealant. This is a low viscosity material and also acts as a lubricant, allowing easier insertion into the hole. It should also work when putting lead on tracker bars. Shellac has also been mentioned here as a sealant. Purchase a bag of dark button shellac, and crush a couple of buttons and mix with sufficient alcohol to form a thick paste. We always keep a container of this handy (in a baby food jar or similar sized jar) to use as glue for gaskets and felts, etc. Bob Lemon (Message sent Tue 31 Dec 1996, 22:01:46 GMT, from time zone GMT-0800.) Key Words in Subject:  Lead, Sealant, Tubing
