Putty & Books

So yesterday I did crawl under the rig after dumping and flushing the black water tank. Kneaded the miracle putty to a consistent color and then pushed it into place. Waited an hour for it to set, then ran water into the tank to see if it leaked. Didn't see any drip so feel successful. We'll see how it does while vibrating down the road. Today I'm going to wash the rig (or maybe tomorrow).
