Make sure Martin tells you how to install the Bristleflex. I followed his
instructions carefully, and haven't had the problems that some people have...a
lot of it has to do with the way it overlaps the aluminum striker plate trim,
and the way the sill strip overlaps the Bristleflex. There's also a crucial
little screw where the weatherstripping turns at the top...Martin will reveal
all.

<!--#yiv7700681208 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}-->Yes Bristleflex is a
far better choice. You can obtain it directly from MacGregor Coactrimming from
Dundas, Ontario, Canada. Owner is Martin MacGregor.His phone number is
905-627-4006The best way to contact him is by phone, if you ry through the
website, it may be a while. Fantastic to deal with and Bristleflex is great
stuff.

My immediate response would have been 'yes,' as I've sealed two new
(steel) tanks with no negative results (one's been sealed for at least
20 years).? However, Hirsch's own FAQ says 'SEALER SHOULD ONLY BE USED
AS A LAST RESORT'? (the whole doc is in caps).? So, if a company that
has a vested interest in selling sealer doesn't recommend it, I wouldn't
do it again, esp. with an Al tank, which should be more impervious to
rusting (I believe Al forms a thin oxide layer on its surface anyway).
