REFLECTOR: Extra Jeffco

[Erik Franks]

I'll keep an eye out. Got some Jeffco on the way. I think I just didn't
coat the leading edge overlap well enough.

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.
