Good morning Mike,
I’ve heard good things about that caulking. In addition to good adhesion and remaining flexible, it has some anti-UV properties that help it remain useful as it ages.
In my wooden boat days I was a great believer in SikaFlex, but it doesn’t seem to adhere to fibreglass as well as to wood. LifeCaulk, which I dismissed back then, is actually pretty good on glass. Last year when I re-bedded my cap rails (Surprise is also a liner boat) I used 3m 4200 because the day I needed it I couldn’t find anything else.) and that seems to have worked very well. Note ‘4200’ not the devil juice ‘5200’.

From what I could find online that seems like a specialty product primarily for doing the seams between boards on a teak deck. Has anyone used it or have any thoughts on whether it is an appropriate product to use on the toerail of an Alberg?
