Essentially he is trying to seal up an external seam between the toe rail and the deck as I understand it. That is a somewhat problematic application because it depends on adhesion to exposed surfaces for effectiveness, and it gets full exposure to sunlight. We've had good luck with the 3M 4000UV on our front widshields which have a similar issue. Nothing is truly permanent in that application but we've been getting 2 or 3 years on average. |
