John,
I had a nose-tank cork
gas gauge sink – in the middle of a flight. I can assure you that gave me some pucker factor. After landing, I took it out and let it
air out in the sun while sealing the tank opening with a plastic bag.
After a week of setting
in the air and sunshine, it dried out enough to work well for a while (even
without being re-varnished) till I got the nice glass tube gauge. There’ve been some good discussions on
what varnish to use to re-coat the cork and I hope experts will tell you which
to use. Before you re-coat it, if
you leave it in the sun and breeze for a week or three, it ought to dry out
just fine.

HI ALL
MY FUEL GAUGE HAS GOTTEN GAS LOGGED DUE TO A VERY SMALL PIECE OF CORK CHIPPING OFF. WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO DRY IT OUT AND WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD PRODUCT TO USE TO RECOAT IT? I USE AUTO GAS I BOUGHT THESE GLASS TUBE GAUGES FROM SKYPORT AND THERE GREAT.= I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.
THANK TO ALL,
