Sealing deck hole plugs; finger tip tip.

[pcatterall]

I have two gland type through deck fittings which self amalgamating tape failed to seal.
one is a redundant fitting and one is temporally not in use as the masts are on deck.
I had my eyes open for weeks looking for some sort of sealed end tube which would just pop over the top.
yesterday I spotted her indoors's marigolds ( a tasty blue colour though).
Voila!! 2 perfect seals and a nice 'roll on' tight fit. I am now looking for 3 more glands to seal ( and have hidden the gloves.

I keep SWMBO happy by using the fingers from disposable gloves.

I suspect Johnny is more attached to his Marigolds than the wife
