    3M 5200 is high quality and is available at skiDIM. a little tube goes a long way.

        5200 is very good but it is a little strong if you go to take them off for some reason. Use below water grade silicone and you'll be fine.

          The manufacture uses something called Sikaflex, don't know who makes it.
