I went with tubeseal when I redid the fuselage.

This bit about sealing the tube after sloshing/draining has some
logic, but doesn't it seem to be a conflict when we leave a drain hole
at the base of the four struts, at the bottom of the landing gear, in
fuselage tubing, the horizontal stabilizers and elevators, and the
rudder? - MikeH

you have me there. I'm not sure whether you mean drain holes in the
fabric cover or drain holes in the structural tubing.
what aircraft type is this?

in any case using tubeseal wont hurt and is cheap.

It's a rag and tube a/c and we're talking holes in the steel.
I can send you an illustration via e-mail showing the hole in the
landing gear strut if you're interested - Mike

stress relief :-)

I'm wondering whether they intended to fill the holes with blind
rivets?
