[Public-List] Re-Sealing the Deck to Hull Joint

[Jeffrey]

Greg,

I would think that epoxy or 5200 would be the worst choices. You don't
really need any adhesion, that's what the bolts do. If you used epoxy or
5200, in the future when anyone needed to remove the rails (and it will
happen)  fiberglass and/or the wood rails would be destroyed.  Nothing is
permanent on a boat.

I used Boatlife Life Caulk, a polysulfide.  Very little adhesive strength,
but long lasting and flexible.  Dolphinite is an old standby for this kind
of thing. I'm sure it would work great too:
