Thanks for the ideas and directing me away from flex seal.

So I belong to a lot of different forums that have to do with my various hobbys. Mostly F150's, Hockey and Fly fishing. Usually everyone is very quick to jump to offer advice and help. On here it seems everyone just wants to tell you your wrong WRONG !without offering any real advice. So...
