<VV> self-sealing tape for PG

[J R Read_HML]

You could do it the old fashioned way.  Slit a piece of rubber hose, put it 
over the problem area fill it with RTV and clamp it with about 3 hose 
clamps.  You likely have all these items on hand.

Otherwise, I've heard of using "shrink rap" tape - you heat it with a hair 
dryer after installation.  I've not done it that way since it's been a long 
time since I had a PG.

Later, JR
