If it's for sealing tubes many people use floor sealer like Klear or similar.

Yes its for sealing the tubes, I have used the flexi Hyperlone paint, but having read about this tuff coat stuff it sounds the best of the lot

It is not for sealing tubes but will seal up pin hole leaks. It is a resurfacing/recoating two coat process. Works very well.

Thanks some decent stuff on their but I still don,t seem able to find tuff coat from a uk supplier, I have tried the polly marine stuff , after the winter the leaks are back ,, I have some stuff to put into the tubes, but on a 5m rib , its not that easy to strip it down and turn it over and over and end over end for a proper job .
