I have to do the same thing, again. Used Lifecaulk in August, 2015 and noticed last month one chainplate was damp, and the boat is still under its winter cover.
The Maine Sail tape seems to be the favorite bedding material of the list. What is the “life expectancy” of a chainplate seal using this material in the wild? For bedding hardware he shows examples of 29 years, but the rigging / chainplate / deck interface does move [plus temperature variations from summer to winter plus differing expansion properties] so would guess it would take more frequent maintenance.
