Re-reading what I wrote, I'm not 100% sure now if the sealant was supposed to go on before the high temp evacuation or after. I think the tube took a couple/three days to go bad after rebuilding. Scotty showed me the blue glow with the Tesla coil when I drove from Chicago to Des Moines to pick it up. The impressive thing about the leak detector is that it found the location of the tiny leak immediately when the tube was tested months later.
