So far as I understand, Spar-Tite is not meant to seal the mast-deck joint. It is there to position your mast correctly in the hole in the deck.
Spartite eliminated 99% of the water entering the boat from the mast, now the only water from the stick is what gets blown into the sheaves & other openings in the mast, and that's minimal.

Same experience from my brothers boat, and he's pulled the mast several times and it's still dry as a bone.

The Spartite ring shrinks less than one thousandths of an inch and when installed properly will radically reduce or eliminate leaking at the partners.
