[VAL] RE: seam sealing



I fill up little syringes, (woodworking supply, used for glues), and
throw them and the opened tube into the freezer.  Takes about 30 mins to
defrost to use, and then throw them back in.. That way I've never lost
or wasted any sealant.

Silicone is almost impossible to remove from bare aluminum, that's the
biggest issue.  I curse the existence of long dead previous owners
whenever I have to try and remove their attempts to chase leaks...  :>)
