[rebel-builders] Winter proofing Floats

Al Could be a big reason for your concern. I would be a little hesitant
to try most solvents on the sealant in the floats; you might do a sample
and see how it reacts before trying it in the floats.

I am concerned that any moisture in the seams of my flats may freeze and
open them up over winter. I am thinking of adding either a little
antifreeze or a little winshield washer fluid to each compartment. The
washer fluid is cheaper and probably more environmentally friendly. I
wonder if either fluid will soften the Sikaflex caulk in the float
seams. Any ideas?
