Hey Burban...

Its getting quite a popular thing now this pressure locking seals, its even starting to take off over here in the UK...

Even though its been round for a number of years, its only through people like yourself who keep bringing this to peoples attention that its starting to take off..

Nice sump you got going there mate..

For the record, I have also heard that the weatherstripping used on car doors is EPDM also. It may be worth checking into. If it is you can probably find some at your local auto parts store.

Burban, you are spot on with what you said about the car sealing..It is exactly the same stuff..

Nice...It will probably be a lot easier to find now without having to search all over the place.
