This Will Float Your Boat ... Or Your Rubber Ducky!!!

My boat is fine ... just waiting for fly-fishing season!

 

But I recently found my Rubber Duckies high and dry!!!

Their "pond" is a cement mixing tray that was torn across the lower edge and couldn't even hold a drop of water!

A quick spray with Rust-Oleum LeakSeal, a few hours dry-time, and the "pond" is water-tight again.

 

My Duckies are floating and on display again at The Paint Pit!

NOTE: Rust-Oleum LeakSeal is a rubberized protective utility coating designed to fill and seal leaks and cracks. It provides a water-tight, flexible seal that prevents moisture penetration, rust, and corrosion. LeakSeal dries to a semi-smooth, firm finish that will not sag or drip, and can be top-coated with latex or oil based paints.
