M_Boats: Sealant for hull-deck joint

Jerry I got lost in the sealant discussion. As I see it there are three parts...the hull flange, the deck and the toerail (aluminum in my case) and two joints to seal. Don't you have to clean out the hull-deck joint and apply boatlife and clean between the toerail and deck and apply boatlife there as well? Yeah a mixture of 10-24 and 10-32 screws and nuts and hands covered with boatlife does not sound like a good thing!
