For misc. non-pressurized leak issues, I recommend you give Super-Seal's spray-on duct tape a try.

My black tank bottom fitting had a tiny drip issue I couldn't seem to control. Cleaned the area with acetone and used Spray-On Duct Tape - 5 coats for overkill. It's been several weeks now, against modest
black tank head pressure, and it is working as intended......

During this weekend's trip I noticed a small slit in my sewer hose - stretched hose out to max dimension and sprayed the slit (2 coats 15 min. apart). Looks like it's gonna hold just fine and save me replacement in the near future.

Curious, I masked-off some side trim and tailight fixtures and used it as a joint caulk. Nice even finish that bridged the joint line without the normal finger-tooling that's required with normal caulk-tube products. (For me, the gray color compliments the polished aluminum - your results may vary.)

I like it! FMI: http://www.idqusa.com/proddetail.php?prod=190-DT

Lee, I bought some and followed your instructions and cleaned my slinky with acetone. That whole area of the hose melted, right before my eyes. Mad


But seriously, it looks like an interesting product. I wonder how it would do up on the roof in a rainstorm.

A couple of years back, the coach tilted as it sank into the mud in a rainstorm, and a hitherto undiscovered leak revealed itself. I ended up on the roof, under a tarp blowing the seam dry with a small compressor so I could make my Dicor lap sealant adhere to the suspected area. I was finally able to tie the tarp well enough to keep the storm blowing it away long enough for me to do the job.

A spray would be nifty, especially if it sticks to not-perfectly-dry areas.
