I gave 3M 5200 a try and it was very messy. Seemed to want to stick to itself and my hands, clothes, kayak seat, random places on the boat etc., not so much to the bulkhead or base? I made the mistake of buying the tube rather than the gun form (my big mistake) and had trouble even squeezing it out of the tube. It ain't pretty but finally I got a good bead on both sides of the bulkhead. We'll see if I got the leak. That stuff is tenacious without a doubt and came highly recommended by the marine people- it seems like it will make a good seal. I don't recommend buying in squeeze tubes tho. Thanks again for the input.
