This is what 3M recommends for outdoor use. It's white, supposedly resistant
to sunlight, etc. I put some on about 3 years ago. Today, a lot of it is
gone, the rest is rubbery in some places, powdery in some places, and gooey
/ sticky in some places. What a mess! The sticky stuff reminds me of uncured
polysulfide. Took solvent to get it off the boat, tools, and myself.
OK, so that doesn't work and I haven't had much luck with Lifecaulk
polysulfide either. I need something to caulk joints between teak and
fiberglass, outside, preferably white but teak colored would work too that
will hold up in sunlight. Any suggestions?
