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.
Ernest,

Where in NC are you located?

I'll forward your request to the RV-Southeast list; there's almost certainly someone close to you that's got some left-over proseal that will give you some.

No need (I think), Charlie.  I too Harold's suggestion and dunked the tank.  Didn't have a pool (to cold for it all of a sudden anyway), but I have a hottub.  I couldn't find any more pinholes, so I mixed up half the patch kit I got from Vans and sealed the rest.  I wrapped the hardener packet in cellophane tape.  I had plenty to wet one rivet and plug a sensor wire passthrough, an if I need another dab, I'll know it the day after tomorrow.  The tape should seal it for that long.
