I was pretty sure that VacSeal had a high temp rating. But we need to do real world experiments with an oven to see if sealing the weld leaks and then running the oven cycle will produce a leak free bulb. That needs to be done prior to doing any rebuilding efforts.

I have one possibility that we can still try here in michigan... I will write him an email and see if he can do some experiments for us. It's still a lot better than sending a dud to France for the test.
