Have a look in your local Chandlers where you should find a book detailing
the rubber profiles available. Then renew.

OK, thanks for that - I had hoped to avoid renewing/replacing the seals
simply from a cost and time point of view, but you are probably right that
short term fixes are just that. I posted this same query in another NG and
someone suggested using the sinisterly named "Creeping Crack Cure" liquid.
May give that a go before applying for another mortgage to replace the
seals.
Thanks again....keith

Hi Keith,

I may be wrong, but as I understand it Creeping Crack Cure is used to fill
slight cracks in Gelcoat. I do not think it is suitable for use with rubber.

Sorry if i'm the bearer of bad news.

Eddie.

Thanks Eddie..... I was also a bit sceptical about this substance, but as
it's under a fiver, I bought a tube anyway. The packaging does claim it can
be used for sealing leaky windows amongst many other uses, so I'll give it a
go before taking the more costly and drastic route of window seal
replacement.

Thanks for your input though - best regards....Keith

Creaping crack cure is ideal for rubber as it's basically liquid latex, more
or less Copydex adhesive. As far as the Dinghy is concerned you have to use
the correct adhesive, here is a link to a supplier,Polymarine Ltd at :-
www.polymarine .co.uk They do everything for dinghies even down to the
material to make your own. Catalogue is very good. HTH Peter
