Re: TIPS
I looked it up; butane is heavier than air. So we don't need to fill the POR-15 can completely, do we? A butane "barrier layer" will be sufficient?124JOE wrote:... use butane to fill the cans air space so it wont cure in the can
I have portioned it out into baby food jars, but your idea is better.

use butane to fill the cans air space

Re: TIPS
When replacing sway bar bushings, you will have some trouble with the inner brackets.
In order to get them apart, you will have to drill the rivets out with a 1/2" drill bit.
To get them back together, put the bushing in place, then put the brackets around it and slip a 1/2" diameter bolt through each side and use them to compress the bracket around the shock. Once fully compressed, tack-weld the brackets together. Remove your bolts and voila!!
I don't have a good trick for the ends yet, but a C clamp seemed to work fairly well
