Talked with a few manufacturers all of which recommended a polyurethane over silicone. Heartland uses Sika products but the 505UV is expensive. I searched forever and found a sealant I am very pleased with so far...Trempro made by Tremco and available at all Fastenal stores for under $8.00 a tube. It's a polyurethane that comes in several colors and says its good for applications that require continuous immersion in water...a big plus here in the "northwet" It is also very easy to work with. It is a "textured" sealant meaning it does not finish glass smooth like a silicone. The Trempro 650 has a smooth texture but is about $11.00 a tube and not available in as many colors.
