[Rhodes22-list] Seam line name

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Hi Chuy....I had the same problem on my (self) restored 1984 R22. The
thorough and proper way to seal the "Hull to Deck" joint is to completely
remove the old rub-rail and drill out all the pop rivets that fasten the
deck to the hull doing about 10 ft at a time (I did this so to prevent any
possible hull/deck deformation). Scrape out the old caulk.

I then banged shims into the joint to spread it apart and squirted 3M 5200
caulk into the gap, clamped and re-riveted the joint and attached a new
rub-rail.

The quick and dirty way is to eyeball the joint externally for any obvious
gaps and try to get some caulk up into it.

That's my 2 cents
