It's not a question of when it will leak, but more like when. It's a ticketing time bomb if you are using it as a thr ead sealant. I use a permatex thread sealant and haven't had any issues.

It wasn't Boelube I used on my pipe threads. I had the name on the brain because I'd recently used it to lubricate the piano hing e pins that go into the cowling. I can't recall exactly, but I think the stuff I used was EZ Turn Fuel lube (described as a lubricant/sealant).. it's in a tube and *very* gooey and st icky :-) ... not the Boelube that's blue, in a little jar, and oily. But with that said, it may not be the best product for the job. A thread se alant paste like Loctite 567 or Permatex 80632 as suggested here probably w ould be better suited. Just so long as it can handle brake fluid properly. Thanks, everyone! Dan > On 2017-Aug-06, at 10:10 PM, Bob Turner > wrote: > lto:bobturner@alum.rpi.edu>> > > As others said: Boelube is a lubricant.

I'd bleed the brakes but very soon there was some air in the lines. I removed the pilot sides master cylinders and put the copilot ones in their place. Seems to have fixed the problem. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:32:21 AM PST US From: David Maib Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: GPS antenna mounting My comm antennas are on the belly.

My previous plane had this when all rod antennas (com, ELT and Loran) were on top of fuselage. Once Loran was eliminated and one com was moved to belly, almost all of problem went away. I do not know how much improvement has been designed into 2nd generation 121.5 or 406 ELTs. On 8/7/2017 6:31 AM, David Maib wrote: > > My comm antennas are on the belly.
