What Sikaflex for attaching plastic textile mast boots?

[demonboy]

Should I use Sikaflex 291 (adhesive) or the caulking Sikaflex for attaching the new mast boots? With an adhesive version it will mean no leakages, but with the caulking version I will have greater flexibility...

They are all adhesive. 291 is for general sealing , 292 for bonding and 290DC for deck caulking

I was recommended by a very good shipwright not to use sikaflex due to the difficulty of removal - but to use butyl mastic in stead, which only partly cures
