[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 454865, member: 15465"] Lady - I just repaired a leaking seam on my boat too. I was able to spread the gap with a small screw driver, so I could clean it out a little bit with fine sand paper wrapped over a knife blade. Also made sure it was dry with blow off ( it wasn't at first). Trying to push the sealant into the gap is hard. I ended up using some nylon string by 1st applying some sealant, then using a hacksaw blade as a spatula, I pushed the string into the gap, followed by more sealant. Did this several times. Now there is no doubt the sealant went in deep. Use disposable gloves Good luck on your repair! [/QUOTE]
