So I built a mash tun that I wanted to use tomorrow. I tested it today with water and there is a small leak on the outside. A tiny drip maybe once a min. but after an hour or so. What do you think i can seal it with. A friend of mine suggested fish tank sealant. It is usually silicone. If it is good for the fish, is it good for my brew?
 
make sure that your gasket is seated well on the inside of your tun. I personally prefer not to use any sealers inside my vessels, but people have been known to use JB weld and silicone. There have been multiple threads on this.
