It looks/sounds nasty. I'd hate to have to try to patch the boat after it came in with that stuff all over the hull. Of course, your life is more important than the difficulty of applying a patch over the goo that saved your life. My "day job" is in the construction industry, and there's some new stuff out called MiraDry, which is a 0.05" thick rubber sheet backed with some sort of bituminous (tar) mixed with unvulcanized rubber. It will even stick to wet concrete, and is made for sealing foundations below grade. It comes in 3' rolls, so could easily be kept large (as large as the ziploc you'd care to carry it in). The only thing it doesn't stick to is a dusty surface. I'm going to try it out on wet plastic to see how it works. It's relatively cheap, and not quite as messy. I can send you a chunk if you want to try it out. Shawn Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo! Auctions for all of your unique holiday gifts!
