Subject: Temporary hull/deck joint seals
Info: (6002 views) Posted: Friday 7-19-13 05:53:54 AM

:: Hi,
::
:: I've got a hull/deck joint leak - more of a nuisance at
:: the moment than anything serious. At the end of the
:: season I plan to do a haul out and fix it correctly with
:: sealant in the joint and a new rub rail.
::
:: In the interim I'm looking for a temporary solution.
:: I've read that you can caulk around the rub rail, but
:: would need to use a non-permanent sealant so I can
:: remove the rub rail later.
::
:: I thought about using a silicon sealant but believe that
:: it leaves a silicon residue that is difficult to remove
:: and that other sealants will not subsequently adhere to.
::
:: Wondered if anyone had any experience and/or thoughts.
::
:: Thanks,

:: -Jeremy
