Unicolor drum Gitzo tripod and paper toning

[LF_rookie_to_be]

Can anyone help me with the 16x20 Unicolor drum? It leaks like crazy and what has been said here might be a solution, but I don't know if the gasket on this drum is the same as on the smaller ones. Here are the pics:









Thanks.

The way I fixed a "leaky Unicolor Drum" for years is very simple. I take out the "Hard Plastic gasket on top of the rubber gasket. Go to Michael's Arts & Craft store and purchase a sheet of Creatology™ Foam Sheets. Cut a piece of foam square the size of the gasket, take a hammer and hammer it thinner without making any holes in it. Use the plastic gasket as a guide and cut the foam the same size. Once done, use silicon glue to glue it on top of the rubber gasket and let dry for 24 hours with the lip and drum together. I have fixed many drums this way and never had any problems. If done right, you should have any leaks
