   Seam caulking happened to be the topic of the meeting of the classic (
read wood ) boat society meeting this past Sunday ..

    Most of the fellows are using a multi part process - cleaning out the
seam - coating the edges with a penatrating epoxy ( for increased adhesion )
and then using 101 for caulking - using cotton caulking only for a caulk
backing for the widest joints ..

    Notably it was said that 5200 would pop the planks right off the boat !!

   Your milage may vary !

  All the Best
