Never,never,never,NEVER use silicone instead of Sikaflex!

I'd use a butyl rubber type sealant for a hatch.

I was out in it for four long days and a night...

A good fright like that makes me well disposed to all men (and rib brands)

Don't worry, it's wearing off

I used to be a major Sikkaflex fan, but I find this stuff to be even better. STIXALL, sticks anything to anything, sealing & BONDING.
Comes in a variety of colours as well as crystal clear. Even claims it sticks under water. Doesnt seem to weather/ discolour as bad as white sikkaflex
