Hum, I clicked on the Loctite link below, and it’s NOT recommended with butyl! WHAT? I thought my hull/deck joint was put together with butyl, so it could be tightened up - only if leaking. It’s lasted 32 years, so C&C got a lot right! Not sure I’d want to risk/mess with that record. . .
Remember folks lots of people have to reinvent the wheel, every Spring. It’s often good to check the archives and what’s worked in the past. Just checking, Lee Not Recommended For Exterior applications when rain is expected before sealant reaches initial cure Vertical surface repair (use on horizontal surfaces only) Aircraft runway or tarmac use Joint depths greater than 3/8' (9.5 mm) without the use of a backer rod. In joints deeper than 3/8' (9.5 mm) the sealant may bubble if applied too deep or if substrate is not absolutely dry Contact with oil-based caulking compounds, butyl caulking compounds and silicone sealants(Uncured and cured) On Jun 1, 2016, at 9:57 AM, Kevin Driscoll via CnC-List <[email protected]> wrote: > Agreed.
