I think 4200 would be ok as well. Like so many DIY'rs out there, you use what you were taught with. All the boat yards around me prefer Life Calk. And they all said "hey Joe, use this.." Besides, it's cheaper.

I do exactly what you've outlined. To cut out the core I have found that using a roofing nail works better than the bent nail. I tried using my roto zip with a burr tip but I kept breaking the tip off when it touched the fiberglass. I use "Life Calk" by BoatLIFE. Don't use 5200!!

Montypals:
Just got #208 from Bob Becker. Nice craft. Just did the driveway sail today in preparation for a real sail soon!
A couple of the through deck fittings are leaking a bit. These may be leaking through the section of wood core on the deck. There is no weakness there that I can feel. I noted a bit of water in the cabin after the big rain we had even with the boat covered. I can see the fitting that is leaking. What is the best way to deal with this, and what products do I need? I read somewhere that I should remove the fitting, use a bent nail or something on a drill bit to get out some of the core, and epoxy it first. Then redrill and seat with polyurethane sealer? Have I got the right idea here? What products to use?
