[PSUBS-MAILIST] k350 question

[Steve McQueen via Personal_Submersibles]

I am planning on attaching my K250 tank shells soon.  I was going to go with Sikaflex but decided to use Alec's approach of a more general sealant (easier to remove) between the fiberglass and hull. My plan is to be generous with the application.

Thanks,
Steve
