    Well I tried my ebay kit on the first 2 pipes today ( i have more) . Decent OEM pipes with no surface pitting that are worth taking the dents out because they are had to come by. One had a two inch hidden crack and the other a pin hole. No pressure build with that!!! I am so I am putting away the kit for the day.

    That stinks.... Honestly Bill, I had the same problem on about half my pipes. Many of my Selvy pipes have a common leak under the hanger/mounting tab. Kinda disappointing. I did the same thing too.... Just tossed 'em back up in rafters for another rainy day. Sealing old oily spooged out pipes will be a chalange, some day. So much for instant gratification.......

    OK, I had the chance to revisit this today with the 2 thin OEM pipes. I threw a gob of JB weld on the holes just so I could try it and it held after 24 hrs of set time. My kit said take it to 60 PSI. I pumped it to 55 ish. My results look very similar to Andy's. I had a large ding on the front face of one pipe that was taken to a very small ding. On the other pipe I had one large area pressed in on the lower portion that came out great. I am a rookie and I seem to have about 85-90% of the dents come out...looks so much better but the area certainly isn't smooth metal. This week I am going to try a thick hand coned pipe that has several dents on the lower part of the pipe....right on welds. I am not optimistic of these coming out because of the thickness and the welds. I will take before and after photos of this one.
