Help -- Sikaflex: I'm sick of it and it flexes

[Bene505]

Is it possible to apply too much sikaflex at a keel-hull joint?

It took all day to get to the old Sikaflex, remove it, and apply new Sikaflex (using a thorough, clean-rags wipe with Xylene wipe as a cleaner/primer).

Now, due to my inferior skill on this, I have a huge thick bulging multi-bead of new Sikaflex all around my keel.

Did I go too far?

Do I need to put barrier coat on top of it, or will simple bottom paint suffice?

(Thank goodness I don't have any pictures of it.)

Regards,
Brad

Let it cure and slice it off clean with a razor. THen paint

Brad, did ya drop the keel a little bit or all the way? I've got a CS-36 Merlin coming in next week for a keel rebedding and was curious.
