Sealant
I want to go around and remove and re-install the snaps and re-seal them where ever I can. I was thinking of using 3M 4000UV. Thoughts and opinions of this would be appreciated.
We will also be undertaking a re-caulking project on this boat as the existing is getting old and dirty looking. What would be the best material for this and I would appreciate any experiences with a similar project.
Thanks
Fraser

Thanks Viper,
Most of the ones I will be working on do not have canvas attached as they a leftovers from previous canvas configurations. What specific brand of of epoxy would you recommend?
Cheers
