Back in 1989, my landlord put a new vinyl floor in the bathroom. To seal all the seams and ensure that no water was able to run anyplace bt for the drain, he pulled out a small, "Elmore's Glue-like" bottle of a clear, almost water-like, liquid sealant. He was able to liberally squirt the stuff into any crack, where gravity would bull it down, where it would pool, skin over, and eventually dry into a nearly invisible but water-tight barrier.
Online, I find "Elastomeric Clear Sealant," and "Liquid Elastomeric Clear Sealant," a low viscosity sealant specially formulated for narrow joints where ordinary sealants cannot reach. The product says it is ideal for sealing windshields, portholes, hardware, hatches, vents, and fine deck and cabin seams. Same skinning, curing, adhesive, and performance characteristics as Elastomeric Sealant.
A small bottle appears to sell for $10 to $15, plus S&H. "Really?" I thought. Can't I go to Home Depot of Lowes and find the same thing?
Well, not in Stafford, Virginia, apparently. No one seams to know about the product and unfortunately, my memory of the great days of 1989 are not so clear as to allow me to recall the name of the product.
Anyone know of what it might be?
Thanks!
Robert
