Too much of a choice now.  I wonder which one would be better for small
repairs (not covering the whole skin)? I just have finished fixing small
nicks on Uretahne skin along the keelsen, using Aquaseal (mostly on
reinforcing Urethane strip -  too early for replacing the whole strip).
Perhaps a single-use repair - if I hit some sharp rock exactly at this fixed
spot, this will be it for Aquaseal.
