 Get a small cat food can  pour a little lacquer thinner in it 
so that you can dip your finger in it to work the LEXEL  bead onto the rubber 
boot about 1-2 inches at a time as you caulk[ clean the boots with lacqer 
thinner first ] It's easy once you get the hang of it.Keep dipping your finger 
back  forth with the thinner...An airplane mechanic friend of mine 
says that they use this stuff for airplane windshields.I did it about 
4,000 miles ago  still holding strong

Afterthought: wrap it with clear wrap while it's still wet
