For me, the only system that makes a water proof seal is the rubber rand
type of spray skirt that nearly all WW paddlers seem to use. The skirt
mentioned above does not appear to be of that type. I always had a small
leak in my glass sea kayak around the caoming until I finally went with
the rubber rand type skirt.
