    FlexSeal will never work, try LeakEnder 2000.

    I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

        But don't you need an exhaust sample analyzed for that?

                    haha, I didn't read all of the replies, but I quickly realized I asked a stupid question and you guys were going to make me pay for it. Question withdrawn, please forgive me.

                            Agreed Bille. You are one of those rare breeds that can take a (undeserved) beating and still be strong enough to stand up and be show courage.

                                    It does not pay to point out someone's mistakes when you are making some of your own.

                                                    That's not bad but I think airbrush is better for it and need to use good airbrush and compressor.

                                                    Last year I am painted my favorite motorbike using an airbrush compressor kit. I really enjoy airbrush that time.

                                                            In the event that this wasn't a spoof posting as a joke.....

Those are separate qualities that have to do with adhesion and the ability to hold back head pressure.
