Do I have the spelling right? Home depot says they don't carry it.
Anyone know who manufactures this product? Is it a seam sealer or
adhesive or both?

I found some at ...
http://www.rotocast.com/hydra/hydrapricing.htm

under 'OUTFITTING ACCESSORIES' at $11 a tube.
Apparently this is some sort of a caulking compound.

They are based in Miama Florida and have a 1-800 number
1-800-537-8888  

I suggest you try a lumberyard to find Lexel,
or go ahead and call Rotocast.

  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 :-(
