Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if there is a type of oil or water based fluid that can be used in pressurized hydraulic related systems, but most importantly the fluid will need to be able to solidify immediately when in contact with oxygen, thus acting as a temporary repair agent when there is a breakage on the tubing or pipe.

Thanks,

Tom
