    Steve.

    I've used a similar product, Liquid Electrical Tape (made by Permatex). Great results, but use in well ventilated area... includes methyl ethyl ketone, acetone and xylene.
    Proper respirator masks are always a plus with solvents like this.

    These hydrocarbons are also extremely flammable. Keep any possible sources of ignition away, and definitely use in a well ventilated area. I also agree about using a mask--you really don't want to breathe this stuff.

    I am concerned of the many complaints about the Flexseal website.

    Seems that people's credit cards are routinely over charged, and Flexseal will not answer inquires.
    Card holders have to file lengthy claims process through their credit card companies.

    Flexseal is relabled auto undercoating, which has been around for decades. All it will do for bellows is ruin them.
