I was going to mention the fireplace adhesive to seal your riveted aluminum panel patches.
I have more pics that I'll link tomorrow. Got busy at work.

Read the first post again... I added additional information.

Would this work better or worse than the fireplace adhesive?

Pranav,
Either will work better than no sealant. Nothing will prevent fire forever, but we just want to buy ourselves time for egress (or extraction by the safety crew if it goes really bad)...

That is actually what I was trying to find.
I wondered if the other link I put up cures to a flexible material that
would stand up to the kind of vibration that exists on a race car.
I was thinking of the fire seals on my gun safe that are a thin strip of closed
cell foam type product that expands when it gets very hot. I think that stuff is rated
for like 1200 F.
Like this stuff:

In the case of a race car we wouldn't care if it expands prematurely, that would
probably be a good thing. Question is, how does it hold up to multiple heat cycles
and things like fuel, various lubricants, brake & power steering fluids, cleaning solvents
and such that get used in and around race cars.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I've been putting off a fire system for too long....and I've got some holes to plug.
By-the-by, any recommendations on a decent mechanical system (likely 3 zones to cover the fuel pump/fuel cell). There seems to be a number of choices out there (AFFF, FE36, FM-200, Halatron, Novec 1230, etc.), each with their touted benefits. I was looking at the AFFF, but on occasion, it can get pretty cold early in the season and really don't want to deal with it freezing.
thoughts?
Well. I never knew the stuff had a freezing point so close to water.

I hadn't either until Scott mentioned it in the post on the RM forum. I don't want to add that to an already long list of things to do during a race weekend.
