I am repainting the deck and the rebedding the hardware. The original hardware (gel coat under it) used butyl tape and in most places had not failed. The parts also come up easily when you want to pull them off. The ones using 4200 or equivalent have failed, often around the screws, it is brittle, yet they don’t always come off easily unless completely failed (cutting under the part is often needed). I will be using butyl when I put it back together. Nathan S/V Wisper Lynn MA
