Re: cork floats

[RICHARD A. WHITE]

Cork floats were indeed prevalent in the older outboards. One can use model airplane "dope" as it is called. It was used and still is when a model airplane builder would lay the covering over the wings and the body. The "dope was then used to seal the covering and it was then more rigid, almost airtight and best of all fuel proof. One needs just the clear model airplane "dope", and just dip the float, let it dry, and maybe dunk it again. Keep in mind that the hole thru some floats will get filled up with the product and need to be opened back up.
Btw, welcome to this fine club.
