[nedmin]

Try the marine directory...

If the company advertised in PBO, they'll probably be listed in the YBW Marine Directory. Click on the "Companies & products" link at the top of this page, and you can then search the directory.

PVB thanks but tried that no joy.

most common sealants in use in UK are:

Sikaflex (available widely)
Boatlife (a lot of chandlers)
Wurth (limited distribution, but good value for money)
B&Q (wide distribution, limited capability!)

Personally I prefer to use an adhesive/sealant and use Wurth.

Travis Perkins sell Sikaflex and probably dont have a boaty mark up on the price .

From what I've seen of Travis Perkins, it will be even more expensive!

Silicone is not just one formulation. The stuff used for bathrooms is not formulated to deal with constant immersion and pressure. But its your boat.........................

boat doctor,, it was marine and industrial sealants, thanks, they recommended a sealant between rubbing strake and steel painted hull and it was good.
