While looking at old posts on Pouch Boat's building foldables forum, I ran across a breif discussion concerning the use of silicone jelly for sealing the skin on SOFs. Here's a quote:

"Silicone jelly diluted with turpentine and colored with ordinary housepaint makes super-excellent waterproofing material. It it is cheap also....."

Not much was said on the forum about this, except for a breif hint abount possible low abraison resistance. Has anyone heard of this being done? If so, how strong is it, and how does it last over time?
