  9. Here ya go
    https://hodgsonsealants.com/product-range/mastics/seamseal-cv/
    I use this for most applications for sealing panels/skylight and windows
    Don't be tight with it it will clean off easily with white spirit on a rag,
    The good thing about it is it will stay reasonably pliable
    If you need to disassemble or replace anything
    If you use a sikaflex type thing that's ok
    But it's more expensive and it really sticks making it difficult to open a joint
    Without tearing the aluminium .
    If you use silicone sealant on the aluminium to wood joints and it fails
    It has the effect of a diaphragm pump
    And the water will p155 in
    Hope that makes sense :)
