dont use silicone!!

[Shooter]

I don't use ANYTHING to seal my hardware. And it doesn't leak either.

Likewise......the mounting holes are very tight with the hardware. Things have to be "right on", but it seals very well.

dana you may have saved me some serious greif with one of my projects. I was gifted a 44" long thick abs mono. I got it in 2 pcs with the deck and hull seperated. I pulled the 30cc homelite out of it and started cleaning it up and thinking of how I was going to paint it. The entire joint that was between the hull and deck was white silicone. Still a lot of it there too. I may just go with a river rat rod theme now. just have some fun with it. Vinyl graphics or ??

monojeff could make you a wrap

im not saying that paint can't be done if there has been silicone there, but if you dont have to use it...why bother risking it for yourself or someone else in the future.
