William,

I believe Graham was talking about this:

http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/to/safetywiretools/clamptitetool.php

I have one and it works surprisingly well where you have enough room to 
maneuver the tool.

The resulting clamp looks like this=94


This is a double wrap.  It can also be done as a single wrap.

Aircraft Spruce sell a very good tool for sealing hoses with locking 
wire. Much better than the Jubilee clips which are very hit and miss.
Don't use sealant, too risky.

I am installing the fuel lines.

Has anyone used any kind of sealant on hose joints?  

I am wondering whether the worm drive clips really seal the fuel lines
