Some thoughts on sealants. Sealants are primarily silicone, polysulfide, polyurethane and blends of them. Add to that butyl rubber. First, as a rule, I like butyl for any hardware that has the potential to flex or move. Chainplates fit that criteria. My default sealant for most everything

Well… I’ll add my experience. First, I do use butyl as much as possible, but found chainplates a difficult application. The main problem we’re the cover plates are welded to the chainplate. This makes it difficult to get a significant amount of butyl in place still allowing the mounting bolts

Hi John, I resealed the chainplates on my 30 MK I about five years ago with advice from Dennis Cheuvront here on the list. I removed the chainplates (there’s only one per side on a 30 MK I) and dug out maybe a half-inch of wet / rotted balsa core around the cutouts between the fiberglass
