<VV> Leaky float repair - Prevention ?

[Stephen Upham]

I've often wondered about dipping the floats in Red Kote gas tank  
sealer and letting them drip dry (or perhaps brushing it on to get it  
as thin as possible) as a preventative measure.  What say the gallery?

Like I'm going to be worrying about working on float leak prevention  
anytime soon.  : (

Hey gang! I have a leaking Rochester float. One boom is sloshing.  
When I submerge it in hot water it makes a bubble.
?
I thought I had read recently how to get the liquid out and then seal  
these leaks, but I've looked everywhere I could think of and can't  
find it. Does anyone have a technique, or know where it has already  
been documented??
?
Thanks
