Deck Sealant

A while back there was a discussion on which product to use for resealing deck access panels. The dealer product was expensive but available through regular retailers at big savings. Please refresh my memory on the product and color.
Thanks

GE silicone II, either white or almond (older or new style).

3M 4000 or 4200. Seals as well and easier to clean/scrape off than silicone.

4000UV would be my choice as well.

Whatever you use, put a piece of heavy monofilament in the groove before you caulk (fasten one end down though). That way if you ever have to take the panels up again, you just dig in at one spot, find the free end and yank it out. It will cut the caulk as you pull it up.

The 4000 I used is more durable than silicone ... but the tradeoff is it's a damned sight more difficult to clean off! :?

Thanks to all. The mono trick is great.

GE Silicon II, the window and door variety, not the bathtub variety.
