We used RTV gasket material to seal up leaks in the RA and GR line drums a lot. Smells a little like vinegar. But it worked really well.
Make sure to use RTV gasket material, though. RTV remains flexible after it sets up, other types of gasket material set up rock hard, which is undesirable in this application.
