General sealant for floor

[Justin Larsen]

Hey folks,

Wondering if anyone can recommend the appropriate sealant for between floor panels and around trim elements. Mine is tired and needs to be replaced.

See images for application.

Life Seal by Boat Life is an excellent choice. It is all I use anymore. Remove as much of the old as possible and replace with Life Seal....great product...

Thanks for the tip. My tube just came in the mail. Any tips or trucks for application? How long should I stay off the floor after filling the seams?

I believe it says fully cured in 24 hours. The bigger the seams/joints the longer it will take. I would check it after 4 hours or so. Instead of water on my finger to smooth the seams, I get me a small cup of plain rubbing alcohol and dip my finger in it. I am not a good “caulker” so I tape both sides with blue painters tape.

Sweet. Thanks for the tips. Our marina opens finally this weekend so I will try and get it done before and post some after pics.

Thanks for the tip on the isopropyl alcohol. Worked like a charm.
