: Do NOT use silicone! It bonds poorly and leaves a residue that prevents
: anything else from bonding. Use a product like Lexel, GOOP, 3M 4200 or
: 5200.

I wouldn't use 5200, if for some reason you ever want to remove the bulkhead you'd have to cut it out around the 5200 and that would remain forever. Very strong and durable caulk. 4200 would likely be a good choice.
