Anyone got any ideas or done it before?

Bit more info needed, what are you trying to do? and with what?

I have put thin aquarium air line on the end before now.

I am wanting to put some sealer under the brake servo area. To be exact, where the inner wing joins the bulkhead, It is just pouring in. Had the inner wing repaired for the MOT but no sealer on.

So thin air line or screen washer pipe could do it then.

How did you fasten it onto the nozzle or did you fasten it to threaded bit?
Jubilee clip? cable tie?

off topic, but be careful what you use, some silicon sealers are very acidic and can make corrosion problems much worse! look for 'neutral cure' on the label!

to be fair, i think many manufacturers have got it right now and use less acid, another tips is look if it says safe for sealing aluminum on the label, ans the acidic stuff corrodes that in no time!

Well I fitted some 5mm airline over the nozzle nice and tight, about 2ft. It started well but when it got to about 3" of coming out it stopped. I gave the trigger a good squeeze but it started to bend.

This is doing my nut in

Have you thought of using gun foam, excellent for sealing holes as it expands after, and goes down a long thin tube easy, Rick

Sounds like an out of date tube , what are you using by the way?
I assume you mean the water is pissing in through the bulkhead

Not a good place to be rotten that, surprised it passed

I had a little hole round the servo on the bulkhead seam. When I investigated , it was proper poorly. Multi layered steel panels there and all the inner ones had already left the building

Ohh that looks serious Pete, Rick

Expandable foam?? I wonder if it would be ok on cars.. Over Bumps and stuff.

AD Ent · 17-09-2013, 22:33

I'm using this and yes it is out of date. Only bought it today:
