Thanks Larry. I tried to reply off-list but the mail bounced.
This sealer sounds promising. I shall see what I can track down from here in 
Aus.
Cheers
Hoppy

I used Duro liquid rubber sealer until I couldn't find it any more for 
all manner of things like this, thinned with - sorry, can't remember the 
solvent, but there was something and it wasn't that hard to figure out.  
Since Duro's product seems to have disappeared, I'm using "Industrial 
Strength" E6000.  It is available at "Industrial Strength" hardware 
stores.  I just tried to unroll the tube to see who makes it, but it has 
glued itself together.  There is something that will thin it, and I'd 
advise cutting it a bit. I'm sure the mfr. would tell you what to use. 

This stuff would be FAR better than any paint.  It is rubber, actually.  
Comes in black.  Really black.   I fix broken paterson tanks with it 
(students use them for drop kicking practice).  Fixed broken ones are 
better than unbroken ones because they are resilient.
