: I was planning on securing my bulkheads with a generous amont of silicon on
: each side. I seem to recall that being a suggestion from this board a
: while ago.

: I have glassed the BHs and added a small vent through a thickened epoxy
: filled hole.

I used Marine Goo instead of silicone. It's made for this kind of application and is a more aggressive sealant. I bought it at Home Depot for about $5/tube and used a tube for each bulkhead.
