I finally got around to using a latex sealant from my local westmarine store. A couplke of frriends and I poured in the latex evenly distributed throughout the rib. We pumped it up, and rolled flipped spun and basically had the boat in all angles. at the end, the boat had a small leak next to a seam and patch. you could see the sealant leaking when we started, but not anymore. the rib has held air for approximately 5 wks. IT also was leaking through the valve seals. I suppose that some of the latex made its way into the cracks and cured. the valves are not sticking closesd though. I am very impressed. So much so that I think I might drop the $250 to use the Top-Coat paint on it. I just need to know if anyone has had success with it. Thanks.
