Recommended for a range of functions, from sticking roofing felt to temporary repairs of plumbing. Sticks to anything, but is fairly easy to remove for repairs. It's apparently not like a Sikaflex-type product, but a modern version of pitch. He recommends a Shell product called Tixophalte, a rubberised bitumen adhesive, which supposedly even sticks to wet surfaces underwater, and keeps its slightly flexible consistency through a wide temperature range. Should we make the mixture as stiff as possible or fairly squishy with linseed oil?Īlthough we lean towards traditional putty, our caulker is strongly against it ("It always hardens too much eventually especially in wide seams, and you've just found out how hard it is to get out, even when it's not doing its job anymore!") What are the functions of the various ingredients - what hardens it, what keeps it flexible? Is the (red) lead just poison, or also a softening agent? What putty recipes/mixing proportions does the panel recommend? We plan to use the same primer on the seams before and after caulking with red lead mixed in. We know the primer we have will cover the red lead without bleed-through. We can get putty, whiting, tallow, raw linseed oil - but not white lead in any form here in the NL (and postage for lead.!) - however we have a large quantity of red lead powder bought quietly a couple of years ago. Putty in topside seams should presumably remain pretty flexible. I've looked back over old posts, and through old CB, PBO, WB etc. We tease out oakum in the evenings in front of the television. Professional caulker working on nearby boat will do the bulk of the caulking, and is keeping an eye on our seam preparation. Much work now going into repairing the splits and shaving out the old splinters. Sadly, on about 50% of seams, previous caulkers have driven cotton straight into plank edges rather than bewteen them. We've discovered there are no caulking bevels - either one plank is bevelled right back to inside edge, or the planks have been cut square and the curve of the hull has served to provide wedge-shape, as it were. Planks have shrunk an average of 2mm each in width. They look dauntingly like mountain crevasses. Edith's topside seams almost clear for caulking, now (at last! horrible job).
