I've noticed rust stains recently > around a coiple of six such bolts that have been installed for 3 years now. This rust somehow migrates through the hole without causing leaks, IMHO. You may use some marine sealant in those holes - 3M 4200, 3M 5200. The second one is more "permanent" - difficult to clean it out and un-screw the bolt if needed, after it's cured completely. Instruction says 48 hours until it's tack-free (for both), and 7 days until completely cures - in relaity it's about 10 days until completely cures. But it's TAD elastic (not like epoxy), so loading it after 48 hrs won't necessarily destroy your work. Comes in black or white, and the whole tube dries out in a month after you've opened the tube, no matter if you were using it or not. Some irreversible chemical chain reaction after it's been exposed to air. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
