Subject:leaking pop-top?
From:Alli Dahlin
Date:Wed, 10 May 2000 18:25:51 CDT

Hello all,

The actual top to my pop-top seems to be leaking when it rains out side.
The fuzzy stuff coating the top on the inside gets kind of hard, but there
is no actual water dripping in, and it is moist to the touch.

There has been discussion on the list recently about painting the top to the
pop-top.  Would this solve my problem?  If so, what tpye of paint do I use
and is there any thing specific I need to know when painting it?  I have yet
to climb up and inspect the top, so I don't know if there are cracks in it
or what (the roof will support my weight, right?).

Is there a sealant I should use too?  And also, the seal around the top is
coming off in spots.  Is it OK just to glue it back, of do I need a whole
new seal?

Thanks in advance!!
