Hey Carl,

How did you go with the sealant, I tried to order the lexel stuff from a us supplier through EBay (Aus) and just got an email to say that shipment has been blocked as prohibited substance.

Can’t find any sources in Australia.

Hemi,
I went with Selleys All Clear Multipurpose which is co-polymer. To be honest I was torn between this and Selleys Clear Storm Sealant. Time will tell if I made the right decision
The finished appearance and feel of the Selleys All Clear Multipurpose is very similar to the Lexel that Leo used when he built this POD before me and he had no issues.

Let me know which way you decide to go.

Thanks Carl,

Well as you went with all clear, I went with clear storm...doubles our experience😀.

It applied well (just used on dome halves as yet), and has formed a nice seal, but then I read the small print and it says not suitable for PE in the plastics section 😞. Not sure why or what consequence, again time will tell.
