The stuff worked on the Smiley bags in my Std. Cirrus. They never leaked
again.

Greetings folks,

I have an older pair of Smiley bags for my ASW-19 that have a couple of
small leaks that I've tried to track down but seem to be more "seepage"
leaks than outright something I can patch (even finding the source of
the leak has been a problem). One is in or near the seam of each of the
bags.

When John at Eastern Sailplanes quoted me a replacement cost of 1100
bucks for new, I had a renewed interest in seeing if I can get these old
ones to hold water!

I'm thinking about using a non-toxic latex product used in the
inflatable boat industry to seal small leaks of a similar
nature..."ToobSeal". Seems like a pretty benign product:

Anyone have any experiences with this stuff or something similar?
Suggestions? Ideas?

Currently, I have a non-usable set of bags on my hands...worst case
scenario...that stays the same. Best case...I bring these suckers back
to life!

Thanks in advance,

Rob
