Speedo pod caulking

[Andrew1967]

Apart from buying a box of 60 body caulking strips, which is both excessive and expensive, what do people deem as acceptable to seal the speedo pod to the bulkhead ?

I guess it needs to stay flexible so Sikaflex or similar may not be practical as that tends to stick like s*** to a blanket.

I've used "plumber's putty'
It comes in small tin cans and cost about $1.00.

'Butyl cord' would probably work well, looks to be about £12 for an 8metre roll on amazon.
Comes as a long strip like body caulking, non setting and can be completely removed like body caulking.
Car manufacturers use it for attaching the membrane behind door cards amongst other things.

Butyl cord... forgot about that....good stuff.
You can buy that at home improvement stores also.

That looks like a good idea.

Thanks guys

I use the none setting caravan sealant for things like that, at least things come apart easily if needed

I haven’t used the tape as bought as a caulking mastic but that should be the same none setting, probably easier to use than from the gun.

Out of interest what was used originally ? Dum Dum or similar ?

I think the original sealant is body caulking.
