Some thoughts on sealants. Sealants are primarily silicone, polysulfide,
polyurethane and blends of them. Add to that butyl rubber.
First, as a rule, I like butyl for any hardware that has the potential to
flex or move. Chainplates fit that criteria.
My default sealant for most everything else
chainplate/tang. My expert is thinking Sikaflex 295. What say you?
