Kent,

I'm putting some silicone hatch seals on my wife's boat according to your 11-17-99 post. I left the Saran wrap on the front hatch gasket for 20 hours and when I pulled up the wrap it was sticking to the silicone and the middle of the gasket was not cured. I patched it up with more silicone and will wait another 2 days before pulling the wrap.

I left the rear gasket alone. I'll pull the wrap tomorrow night to give it plenty of time to cure. Pulling at it now, I can see that the Saran wrap is adhering to this silicone gasket as well.

Should I have spread some Vasaline to the bottom side of the wrap?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary B.
