Hi Ernest,
sounds like the problem I had in one of my tanks (RV9). Built a manometer and for about 6 weeks tried everything I could think of to find my leak, finally when my neighbor opened his pool, I dunked it and found 5 pinholes around rivets in the back flange. Drilled them out, put a glob of proseal on each, squeezed them and next day No Leak. Manometer held pressure...the only changes were from barometric pressure...correlated roughly with the weather reports. If you have a leak in the skin by a rib, why not try drilling it out and replacing it with a CCR 246SS-3-2 with a big glob of proseal slathered all over it. I found that after the proseal set for about 5-6 hours, I was able to clean the outside with some MEK & elbow grease.
Hope this helps

Yeah, I'll drill and replace the rivet with a wet one, but the question was how do I conserve the ProSeal? The Kit that Vans sells comes with a little jar of 'stuff' and a little pouch of 'stuff'. Can I pull out a small glob of each, mix them together like JBWeld and be safe?
I like the pool idea. I may have to make a midnight run to get in the water. I don't think I'll get much respect calling my 50gal. tank a pool toy. 8*)
I would try the green loctite, except that this pinhole is on the bottom of the tank, and the tank is wholy contained in that same space as the cabin. Some things I'm just not comfortable experimenting with.
