I am repairing the front way covers on a Fadal 3016. The stainless plate that is under the doors seals to the white side panels.
What sealant do you use on that front panel to prevent leaks. It looks like urethane caulk, but urethane isn't oil resitant they say.

So what have any of you used?

I use butyl tape. The stuff sold by composites supply companies for vacuum bag termination...
 
I used Sikaflex on all my Fadals for years ,,, most RV or boat supply places carry it. just clean everything super good and then do two of three wipes with alcohol.
