Ed,

Thx for your input. I tell you, I don't really trust 5200 anymore than other sealants. I don't know why, but it seems to be as susceptable to leaking as any other silicone/caulking material - and is a P.I.T.A. to remove...

I would rather use silicone and reseal every (2) years... Even better, I like the epoxy idea. I read the West System fiberglass repair manual and these guys seem to have sealing figured out. It is a lot of up front work, but over the long haul it is probably worth it. It's just that silicone or 5200, over time, will fail. And the repurcussions of that ' failure ' can be a bitch...
