I bent my liquid out post the other day and now there is a fast leak from the space between the post and the keg plastic. Is there a certain sort of sealant I should use to seal this mess up?

Cheers
 
sounds like the threaded stub is cracked. a good welder might be able to fix it by welding or brazing it, otherwise it might be scrap metal......
 
You could use JB Weld, although personally I'd either have it welded or use it for some other purpose. I would not want a pressurized vessel blowing a post in my face @ high psi.

Good point, I think the leak is pretty small though. JB weld wont leak any chemical into the beer once it's hardened will it?
