Thanks for the info. The fellow I spoke with owns a Landfall 42, and suggested for the small amount I will need, they should have some at the club that I can use, rather than buying a whole tin. I will see if it is G-Flex that they have.
Although I will need to haul again next year for a new survey, I'd prefer to do this job right this time, and not have to dig into it again. I'm also planning to check the keel bolt torque. Should I do this before applying epoxy? The joint seems very tight, with no sign of a smile - just a bit of lead corrosion at the leading edge. I suppose I could take some of the weight off the keel with the stands to see if it opens up, but I doubt it will based on the tight sealant I pulled out.
