Just got an opportunity to have a "helper" tomorrow.
Gonna remove/reseal the rubrail, rubrail screws and the hull to deck joint.
Starting aft, don't expect to get it all done in a day.
Thinking about removing the stainless first, then the rubrail then
1) cleaning it all up with the pressure washer
or
2) acetone
applying sealant to the now cleaned
hull to deck joint
rubrail
all screw threads
The questions are:
Is the use of the pressure washer wise? Maybe just acetone?
what kind of sealant?
Sikaflex, 3000UV, 4000, 4200 ?
Likely silicone is NOT a good choice for this.
Suggestions?
I need to go out and get the sealant TODAY to take advantage of the "helper"
BEST !
