I've been looking on the "net" for a product I had used years ago for sealing up the edges of where the paint ends on a motorcycle gas tank and petcock bunghole to stops the fumes and/or fuel from lifting the clearcoat and paint from the exposed steel edge. It came in a little plastic tube and was applied around the edge using a small paint brush or Q-tip. Anyone have any idea what it was called, or where to find it?

With a quick search for paint edge sealer I found one from the 3M company that's made for decals. Don't know if this is what you seek.

No but, I appreciate the info. I'll look at some info on it that stuff, and see if it would serve the same purpose as what I used before. It was similar to a clear nail polish. It's too late now but I'm getting a little bit of "bubbling" on my filler neck and if I "re-shoot" or fix it, I'll want to apply something like I SHOULD HAVE before it happened. Hindsight being 20/20. LOL
-
BTW, anyone else watching Barrett-Jackson auction?

Paul ,
Why not cut the bubbling to open them a bit , apply a little clear nail polish and then press them flat ? Then maybe another thin coat on top .
Might be worth a shot .

That's exactly what I've been mulling over. Great minds....

Since the forums so dead, thought I'd post something. LOL ends up there's not any paint bubbling. I changed lighting in my living room and thus, ended up, I'm just seeing a shadow from a very slight "run" on the top of the filler tube I'd never noticed before. With some new halogen "spot lights" I recently installed shining down from directly overhead, it now shows up. Ha Ha. Check the difference between light moved just slightly to the side vs directly overhead. I made an assortment of stainless steel trim rings just incase I needed to cover a poor re-spray for nothing I guess.

Paul ,
Good that you're so concerned over your bike . ;)
Just toss those rings on the shelf . You 'might' need them in 20 years or so . LOL

What can I say...I'm a perfectionist. It's the details that matter and can make or break a project. Every bike or project I "do" is at least as, or better than when it was new. Doesn't look bad regardless.

I'd run it , Paul .
That looks better than OEM . ;)
