3M marine.

Gotta watch using alot of the adhesive stuff. Most of those aren't UV resistant and don't like direct sunlight. Read the labels.

I've used it before. Worked fine, but not much easier to remove the through hull than 4200 when i had to take it off again IME. It did seal as well as 4200.

I would put the Life Seal at a 3M 3200 if they made it.

Brian, what Life Seal product are you talking about? Is it Life Seal silicone?
