REFLECTOR: Extra Jeffco

[Mike Dawson]

Erik,
Are you using auto fuel? Ethanol may not be the culprit. Additives in auto gas, specifically fuel injector cleaner....we think, has a molecule so small in penetrates the Jeffco and softens the foam. So far, myself included, several of us auto engine users, have had issues with our tanks due to the use of auto fuels.
Watch for other signs in your strakes and sump tank. Just ask Bill Mulrooney or Dave Bertram!

Hi,
I have a small amount of bubbling on the leading edge of a strake where I must not have put enough jeffco when joining the strakes. Will have to get in there and fix. Does anyone have a couple cups of jeffco and hardener that's not too old I can buy? The other option is a whole gallon from the factory. It would be going to southern CA near LA.
