RE: [Paddlewise] Lexel for Bulkhead?

  Lexel is the correct spelling.  It's very similar (from a non-chemist's
point of view) to standard clear silicon caulk, only better.  Kind of like
silicon caulk on steroids<g>.  I assume from the subject line that you want
to use it to seal a leaky bulkhead - it should work fine as long as you
clean the area thoroughly and rough up the surfaces to enhance adhesion.
Others may chip in with info about other products (3M's 5200?) that might
even work better than Lexel.
  Can't say right off hand who manufactures it - my tube is at home and I'm
at work :-(
