I guess I have a general aversion against silicone on boats. This is based

Glenn, having seen your boat built from the start (virtually) I would hate
to see you ruin the deck with some non-proved new wonder goo when a known
and long-used 2-part polysulphide would be a safe alternative.

Everything I know of wooden boats tells that silicone should be kept far
from wood. If you start using silicone there is no way back. There has
been enough bad examples of miraculous new products failing after a few
years. Your boat is a pretty big testfield for expensive failures...
