This is why i said "Watcon Style" and not " The Watcon" seal. ive bought the seal from watcon and i agree it is of good quality, but lately ive been going through hood seals like crazy because i cant leave well enough alone on my ski and keep tearing it down.

im not trying to bash Watcon or RCJS in anyway, just letting it known for people on a tight budget there are other options out there. i've personally had great luck with mcmaster carr products, but it should be fair to say the longest ive ran a mcmaster seal was one season. (6-8 months). this is a 100% surf boat also.

i understand, and by no means was i trying to come off as any other way than to just make sure other people knew the differences. i don't want any one thinking i am just buyng material from mcmaster carr, and re-selling.....

Old glue, and watcon

For what it is worth and anyone that cares, I think it is important to remove the old glue, as this appears to be the true failure point on my ski. Leaving that old glue in, the same glue that failed in the first place, does not make sense to me.

Regarding the Watcon seal, I would recommend the site owner post the total with postage, prior to purchase. It is not fair as a buyer to not know the postage cost until after the purchase. my charge was $11- to ship me a piece of foam rubber. Granted it came Fedex, would have been good to know that it came through fedex also, again, prior to purchase. I am not looking for any comment or arguement, I am just providing some feedback and info for potential purchasers, that they may not have had otherwise.

The watcon seal is now installedm and seasoned, without additional glue added, and so far it makes for a very tight fit. Will take it out in a day or two but I am not expecting any problem. Hopefully it holds up!

i appreciate the feedback. our site DOES say we ship fed ex, and it does explain prices are + s&h, and that we do not rely on the "shipping calculator" because they are wrong, and error in my favor. ( otherwise OVER charge you guys for shipping). if you look in the ordering information section of the site, this is all covered. and it also states this right at the shopping cart check out....

here is a copy & paste.

Most orders will be shipped within 24 hours of receipt via regular Fed EX ground service. Prices listed are PLUS s&h. It is difficult to accurately calculate shipping until your order is boxed, and ready to go. If you would like a shipping and handling quote, before we process your order, please make a note in the comments section. WE will send you an email for approval before we ship. If you are in a rush, we will gladly ship your order via Fed EX guaranteed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd day service. Items shipped Fed EX ground to a business address are also guaranteed. Items too large or heavy to be shipped via Fed Ex Ground will be shipped by motor freight or air freight with shipping charges to be collected at delivery.
