Rust-Oleum LeakSeal is an easy-to-use, rubberised protective utility coating designed to fill and seal leaks and cracks. It provides a water-tight, flexible seal that prevents moisture penetration, rust and corrosion.
LeakSeal dries to a semi-smooth, firm finish that will not sag or drip, and can be top-coated with water-based or oil-based paints after 24 hours.

Practical Consumption
Practical coverage depends on many factors such as porosity and roughness of the substrate, size of the leakage and material losses during application.
Surface Preparation
Remove all dirt and debris from the area to be coated. Wash area with a detergent and water solution, rinse with fresh water, and allow the surface to dry thoroughly. Remove any loose paint or previous coatings with a wire brush or sandpaper. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. Wipe the sanded surface clean when finished. Test previous coated material for compatibility before use. A test spray on cardboard is recommended to obtain feel for spray pattern. Spray surface in short, even strokes. Hold can 8-18" from surface. It is recommended to apply a light first coat. The second coat can be applied heavier. Quicker build-up can be achieved by moving nozzle closer in to gap.
Application Conditions
Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area such as an open garage. Apply when temperature is between 50ºF and 90ºF (10 - 32ºC) and humidity is below 85% to ensure proper drying. Do not apply to surfaces, when heated, exceed 200ºF (93ºC). Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist. Shake aerosol vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. If mixing ball fails to rattle DO NOT STRIKE CAN. Contact Rust-Oleum for technical support. A test spray on cardboard is recommended to obtain feel for the spray pattern. Hold the aerosol 8-18” (20 - 45 centimetre) from the surface and spray in short even strokes. It is recommended to apply a light first coat. Apply a second heavier coat to ensure proper coverage. A thicker film can be achieved by moving the nozzle closer to the surface. Initial spray may have some foaming or bubbling, but will dissipate as the coating dries. For best results, apply 2 coats. Allow to dry 15- 30 minutes between coats.
Remarks

Wipe off tip when finished.

I have rainwater ingress in the boot of my car from one of the original bodywork spot welded joints. Would this product be appropriate?
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
This is designed to seal leaks and cracks but works best when applied to the outside ( area exposed to the weather) For this application assuming the area is metal, clean dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data Sheet we can recommend Bullet Mega Mastic.

Question:
Am I able to use the gutter repair sealant when the surface is wet ?

Question:
We have one part of out gutter that is letting a lot of water out. Think the seal is damaged or loose. Would this work on that?
The harling on my house has a number of fine cracks. Can this be used to seal then before painting?
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Depending on the actual overall condition of this harling substrate, and the extent of the hairline cracks, LeakSeal could be a solution. However normally for hairline cracks (especially if whole wall is being treated) then we could suggest Rust-Oleum Mathys Murfill Waterproofing Coating.

Question:
My roof has water ingress at the lead flashing. Is this the best to use to seal the flashing at the brick wall?
Would it be ok on 40 year old asbestos cement board / corrugated sheeting ?
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Rust-Oleum LeakSeal is for small patch repairs, if you are wanting to seal a small crack, or apply over a fixing/bolt then this should be fine for temporary protection. However, if you wish to coat the whole roof you would be better looking at something like GacoPro Roof Coating.
