Sealant for Lead Tubing
By Bob and Sonja Lemon
We normally replace lead tubing with neoprene tubing. We seal it to the stack with automotive silicone windshield sealant. This is a low viscosity material and also acts as a lubricant, allowing easier insertion into the hole. It should also work when putting lead on tracker bars.
Shellac has also been mentioned here as a sealant. Purchase a bag of dark button shellac, and crush a couple of buttons and mix with sufficient alcohol to form a thick paste. We always keep a container of this handy (in a baby food jar or similar sized jar) to use as glue for gaskets and felts, etc.
