Rubberised paint?

[bluedragon]

We've got two small areas on deck where the GRP meets the corner of a wooden coaming, and water always sits there no matter what I do. The joint is sealed with Sikaflex, and the wood is epoxy coated, but has in spite of this begun to discolour underneath. Rather than just re-epoxying, I wondered about using a thick rubberised paint as a small rectangular patch on the corner? This may give a) better water-proofing of the wood, and b) look better. I'm sure I've seen this sort of stuff around, and one that dries to a non-tack rubber film (not a sticky bitumen like roofers use). I've thought about diluting Sikaflex with a solvent and paint it on, but I'm sure there are better solutions out there. Can anyone help?

You can buy rubberised paint that you can walk on, I have just done a flat concrete roof with the stuff. It goes on with a brush just like emulsion paint, but it dries as a rubber film, not tacky at all to touch. Very good stuff, must be clean and free from dust when painting on.
You must be able to buy it from a uk builders merchant.

We used to use a rubber paint available from the roofing section in B&Q which you could paint through puddles. It was harmful to just about everything, xylene based, stunk the place out 'till it set, but would set under water and seal anything.
Can't remember the name though... getting old.

Been trying to remember the name of the paint, for two days!!

Chlorinated rubber paint! Available in building merchants.
