2001 340 Fiesta Vee caulk color

dorothyoncayuga

We have a lot of caulking that needs redone on our boat - around the radar arch, around windows, etc. The color of the boat is not bright white, it is more off-white. Does anyone have a suggestion for a caulk brand that better matches the Fiesta Vee white?

I wonder weather a waterproof caulk, like found at Lowe's or Home Depot, would work?

Get a marine caulk, use white as noted.  the correct marine caulk will not mold/mildew.

Al, do you think the "white" is what I want, or is there an "ivory" or "off-white"?

Al, now when you say "smooth out with a citrus based solvent", I am not sure what you mean here, sorry.

My husband is a plumber, he's pretty good at caulking. I am trying to get all the correct products he needs here, so he'll be more willing to actually do the caulking. Though I suppose it will be up to me to do the daunting task of removing all the old caulk!

I just ordered the Bostik 920 from iBoats. Do you know where I can find the "citrus based solvent"?

okay, great, we have a lot of WD40 on hand.

A super big thank you for all your help!
