• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

What are you using?

I was going to use the age old method of sealant and silk thread but found the old POB #4 sealant is no longer available. I think I found the correct new sealants(for use w/silk thread) but after a search have decided on simply using a bead Loctite 518. I know the Lycoming SB says 515 but Loctite says 518 is best for AL and I found several mechanics suggesting 518.
