Are there any.
Hate to hijack the thread, but it got me thinking .
For my tank hatch I used, and put it in an empty caulk tube.
On a piece of scrap, lay it in the sun for a few days and it may just work.

Funny though, they caulk "back to front" from how i do it! i caulk from right to left and i have a different technique for laying in the caulking.

I tend to agree with you, and can't fault them for not knowing, the info I provided was a bit lacking.
