[Shop-talk] Leaky rivets

[Karl Vacek]

I worry about cyanoacrylates (crazy glue) as being too brittle - are some 
grades more flexible ?

Someone on the MG T-Series list suggested green Loctite 290 - I think that's 
the one for already-assembled fasteners.  Anyone ever use that as a sealant 
??

I don't think of Loctite thread lockers as sealants, but I suppose...

Thanks !
Karl
