    Title is for attention lol

    before performing my pinch weld pounding or whatever you call it, I watched tons of videos. They all consisted of cutting slots in the pinch welds, bending them over with a large hammer, and sealing them up with anything from silicon to Henry’s roof patch. I though every option I had sucked so I went OG and purchased the real deal. This will never leak, ever! This stuff is so viscous and it sticks to everything! You have 10 minutes max working time so better hurry.

    I am working on some unrelated video editing, will post photos soon. The stuff I used was beige. It comes in beige and gray I believe. It’s not cheap at 29/tube but whatever my stuff ain’t leaking!

    You got my attention. I thought you were having a stroke and needed immediate medical assistance. I see that you are fine. Goodnight.

    No need to cut the pinche. Small sledge hammer and take your time pounding from top to bottom. The bottom 4” will be the hardest.

    I’m pretty sure Pinche Welde was a Cuban revolutionary.
