check the number on the side of the tube there should be a large number after the name
290 is the deck calking and doesnt have the same bonding capabilitys as the others and its also a bit runnier
291 is the general marine adhesive/sealant which can be used below waterline.
292 is the more expensive but stronger bonding, its also a bit thicker than 291.
295 is the same as 292 but wont go yellow over time, and its alot more expensive.
they are the main ones for general marine applications and you can get them in black or white. I hate using black stuff it gets absolutely everywhere, keep rags and turps handy for the clean up.
most boatyards use 291 for all their fittings, transducers etc
hope that helps and is not too confusing...i need coffee
sika flex is a bugger to get of your hands after wards if you dont use the gloves. Sika do make specila wipes that take the stuff of to make cleaning up easy
