Re: [Paddlewise] sealer for bulkheads

>....the seal between my bulk head and the bottom of the kayak- ...Can
it be repaired with any good silicone sealer or does it take a special
kind of flexible sealer?? 

Sorry if this has already been answered; I've been snorting Puget Sound
salt water for 4 days and have been away from computers...woe is me! ;)

It's best to stay with something compatible with the original system;
that way if a subsequent repair is necessary, you're not limited.

Using silicone will limit you to only using silicone in the
future...and even it won't stick all that well to itself once fully
cured.

Necky uses Lexel clear rubber sealant on its minicel bulkheads.  Some
use the original resin.  Contact your manufacturer to see what they
use.

3M 5200 urethane adhesive/sealant also works well and is very tough.
