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.
