Does this work on Starboard? Sudbury elastomeric sealant adheres to Starboard much better than silicone. It is the recommended adhesive for sealing/waterproofing behind starboard frames on tackle boxes and doors. With that said, it is not a substitute for mechanical fasteners and should not be used as the only means of structurally adhering starboard.
