While I wait for my new AI to arrive, I've been researching common problems and solutions... Preventing leaks through the 8 inch hatches and self tapping screw holes by sealing with Sikaflex 291 or Marine Goop came up a fair bit, so I was wondering what people think is the most effective surface preparation prior to applying sealants - alcohol or acetone? (I have some Sikaflex 291 and I'd use Sikaflex primer, but it's not available locally)
PS From what I've read Hobie now provide better rudder cable seals - I'm assuming that they haven't also started sealing the 8" hatches and self-tapping screws themselves since I read the leaks messages, right?
