AquaSeal is a dismal failure period, I have never had success with that stuff ever, like JB Weld, a favorite of farm machinery mechanics everywhere, there is usually a better solution.

Well, off to Wazee to dive in some frigid hole in the ground. I am getting a dry suit if this keeps up, wonder if I can get one of them rubber suit in pink glow in the dark? Cold<------> me, not a good mix.

None of the prom dresses I tried to peel off came down that easy. Then again, I was the biggest strike out artists then.. Not like now of course, ..but then.... As mick jagger would say I dont get no satisfaction. Ah yes the bad good old days of youth, mispent and otherwise.

Once constant in my life, my truly one and only faithful... No, not the teeenage girls.. i said I was a strike out artists.

my beloved Royal aquamaster was my constant companion. Just it back from bryan, and I am most pleased..happy happy happy.

Now my significant other has covetous eyes on my RAM, and I have locked it up in my pelican case ..away from the green eyes. She will have to use my DAAM that has a RAM nozzle in it. Not that she doesnt deserve the best.. but I feel she needs a bit more experience first before letting her try out "the RAM"

Hmmm. I used it to glue an insert back onto a diaphram for that pico address DAAM of mine. And, for what it's worth, I've used JB Weld to hold a sparkplug in after the threads stripped and it blew out of the head. Worked for several months(then we swapped out engines and rebuilt that head) :)

The old diaphrams are not silicone, they are neoprene rubber or such as that. The Aqua Seal will adhere to them but I doubt it will have anything to do with the new silicone compound.
