[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 468240, member: 15636"] The correct name is [b]G-Flex 650[/b], it is a flexible epoxy, $20-$22 for the kit, and can usually be bought locally too. But LifeCaulk by BoatLife would also be an advisable fix; it is a polyurethane adhesive like 3M 5200, but is less expensive less than G-Flex too) ... and in my opinion a much, much better product than 5200! Tube ‘life’ is also measured in years ... not months. Clean the area well, removing all traces of white corrosion/oxidation, then wash with vinegar and rinse, plus I would prime it w/ zinc chromate before applying any ‘goop’ to it. Prime as soon as the panels are dry, even heating/warming w/ hair dryer or heat gun on low. On your boat, it was about a > 1” wide strip of ‘gasket material’ that was installed at the factory before riveting those panels together. [/QUOTE]
