Only thing I use x4 and if ya don't use a whole tube, keep it in the freezer. www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions.

Takes about 24hrs to fully cure and set up in my experience. But last forever! I also cut patches out of a bicycle inner tube and couple it with the aqua seal. Those patches work extremely well! All life demands a struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy,selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life.
