Subject: RE: RV9-List: PROSEAL SHELF LIFE
David,
My two cents worth. I would not use outdated pro-seal in the fuel tank
application. Reason being once the tanks are
complete and you have a problem with leaks cause by the old pro-seal, the
repairs are going to be very difficult unless you install inter tank access
plates before assembly of the tanks. Pro-seal is cheap compared to the
aggregation that you will
will run into because of outdated material. Yes, pro-seal will have a longer
shelf life by being stored in the frig, but at what time is the material no
longer good? There are a lot of highly educated people that develop this
type of material, and
they say the date is the date that pro-seal shelf life has expired.
David if you have just one open container of pro seal in the frig, I can
tell you that it will not be enough sealant in that one container to do the
fuel tanks. I finished my tanks for the RV10 about 30 days ago. What I did
was purchase the premixed 3 OZ tubes which can be purchased from Vans or
from other distributors. Let me tell you that you will only be able to apply
3 oz a day which will take 4 to 5 hours to complete including clean up of
tools, tank and self. At about the three hour level the sealant is setting
up so you must plan what you want to accomplish in 3 hours. Not only do you
have fresh sealant everyday, but it is so easy to mix, stick in a calking
gun and apply as needed. I used about 20 oz of sealant per tank, and about
half of that was waste.
I would use the old Pro-seal on other sealant jobs that do not have the
importance that the fuel tanks have.
For what is worth.

Mine worked just fine. If there is any doubt, mix up a bit and put it our
to cure. If it cures out OK, then use it. As I remember it, ProSeal has a
shelf life of about a year without refrigeration and refrigeration extends
it.
