I've used Rustoleum LeakSeal® before. It actually doesn't have much tensile strength. It has great compressive strength, but I would caution against using it for sealing air tanks. I think HM's idea about using fiberglass autobody patch is brilliant. It's exactly the right material for that application. Plus it's easy and cheap.

Lookit, I'm trying not to be a pessimist here. But a two decades old Ratchet Blast that's broken in four places might be, dare I say it, a goner.

Each of us has a finite amount of time, money, and energy to dedicate to any given project TomK. If this Ratchet Blast is your passion, then by all means pursue this folly. Otherwise, move on my friend. There are so many really good blasters these days. Spend that $60 on an Elite HyperFire, or anything that fires modern darts. Maybe ?
