Need help quick!! Next best caulk besides rule?
What would be the next best sealant besides rule? I have a new through hull to install and cannot find rule around here. What I can find is
1. latex elastomeric caulk 2. Standard latex caulk 3. Silicone caulk (some of which claim to remain pliable when cured). I am thinking the latex elastomeric is probably the best but it is in the inner hull drain that is still dripping and probably won't dry out for a few days. This won't let latex dry and will wash it away before it can seal.

RULE Elastomeric is the ONLY sealant approved by Triumph Boats. You can contact the folks at Merritt Marine to order some if your local dealer doesn't have it for some reason.

You can look it up on the internet by Sudsbury Rule Elastomeric. I order mine from C.G. Edwards and others. Consider buying a case maybe still @$65 of large caulk gun tubes as it tends to have a pretty good shelf life so far.

received in two days
I looked everywhere for it too. I finally ordered from Chad Merritt and received in two days. I think the shipping cost for one tube was $5. I since have found a hardware store in Indian Trail that carries it.
Later, Lindsay

It's a "pay me now or pay me later" situation. Use the Rule Elastomeric now or, when whatever else you use fails, use the Rule to fix it later.
Here's a link to C. G. Edwards, that's where I buy mine. C.G.Edwards, Sudbury Boatcare Products Good luck with your mod.

I once found Rule sealant at a local Ace hardware store of all places. Check those stores. If I remember it was clear not white but it did work.
