Title: Dike by Conklin Engine Sealant
Post by: fabr on February 27, 2020, 07:41:11 PM: I had never heard of this stuff. Ran across it on the C&R Radiator site. This stuff is cool as all get out. They call it temporary . The vid shows why. Only available from Conklin dealers .

From what it looks like this is one of those well kept secrets. I couldn't find one negative posting on it other than a couple that was obvious it wasn't used according to directions.
