SG is expensive. you can mix it with white spirit (its hard to mix, persevers) then brush it on the seams it makes it go many times further.
Cheers Mike - that is good to know! (thumbs)

Any ideas of the ratio of white spirit to SG?
I do about 5 to 1, its a bugger to mix, takes ages to emulsify, but there is epic discussion on this on the outdoors magic forum. Have a google and you'll find it.
