The goo contains latex. It also contains solvents that can maintain the latex suspended or dissolved in liquid form. So, the solvent/carrier can probably also dissolve/permeate the latex tube. Nick's empirical evidence is consistent with this scenario. Butyl rubber is resistant to many organic solvents that damage natural latex. The oozing may well subside only when the tube is fully destroyed by the sealant. -- Mark Anderson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
