[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 627091, member: 20098"] Silicone sealant should really be avoided for any future ‘quick fixes’ where metalwork is involved. From memory, it is pretty acidic (acetic or ethanoic?) so if there’s any hint of broken paint leading to bare metal or rust, it will just eat it’s way through until it is done reacting. Hopefully a bulge repair will sort you out as I’m sure there’ll be worse lurking underneath the seal than what is currently visible! [/QUOTE]
