What is the best way to make sure that my welds dont leak when i mount my tires on them. I have been told to put a layer of rtv around the weld after I get the back bead mounted. Will this work or is there a better way? I really dont want to get them mounted then find out they leak.

RTV does the trick. Just make sure you force the RTV into the welds with a finger. You don't need much though.

Funny, wish I woudl have known when I did mine, they took several passes with the welder to do the same thing :-\ worst part is assembly/disassembly
