I use a heat gun to remove moisture & smooth out the rip then I've used some bitchathane w/ foil tape over that. I am not sure about the possible corrosive effects of the silicone during curing.

For some reason he thought that he needed to move the leg to a different hole on his RGM mount instead of just collapsing it. Whats the best way to seal it back up? There is no other internal damage that is noticeable its about 1.5 long and ½ at the widest end. My first thought is to use silicone caulk, but I thought I would pick the collective brain, so to speak. Thanks, Bob Ellison
