The Best Way to Seal a Joint is to Use
High-Quality Adhesive Sealants
The task of elastic bonding is to join, to waterproof, to
dampen (sound), to insulate and to prevent galvanic corrosion.
These are all properties strongly associated with the marine
environment, particularly in the manufacture and repair of
ships, boats and yachts.
Historically no technique in ship
building has evolved as strongly over the centuries as the
technology of deck caulking. In the early days, woollen or
cotton caulking yarn, in combination with bituminous materials,
were employed. Nowadays the use of elastomeric materials are
common worldwide, especially as these elastic sealants not
only fill the joint but additionally seal and bond similar
and dissimilar substrates simultaneously.
