Goop / caulk recommendations

I've had good luck with polyurathane. Silicon only gives you one try since it won't stick to itself.

3M 5200 is a classic boat sealant in white, but takes a long time to cure

Loctite is my favorite. I know they have it in black, not sure about white.

Sikaflex is another good brand

Homedepot has all of the above

the 3m 5200 is what we used on my tail wheel skid it cures in about 12-24 hours if there is enough humidity. In AZ I had to drape wet towels over it. it is very sturdy an a little flexible. Best stuff I have ever used and it is white

3M 5200 will yellow in the sun and eventually crack where it is exposed, if that is a worry. 3M 4000 will not yellow or crack - at least for a very long time.

Jon,

Thanks for the lead on the 3M 4000. I wasn't aware of silane modified polymers & it definitely looks like the better choice for something exposed to UV. Polyurethane (3M 5200) usually isn't a good choice for high UV exposure.
