I promised I would share my solution for the gap when I came up with one... my best do it yourself solution for the gap that some of you may have and want to fix... at least its the best I could come up with so far....

I wanted a super sticky, durable, long lasting, waterproof, sealing, flexible solution... so I'm going with the Marine version of GOOP... you know.... that stuff to fix shoes... I've used the regular version and the marine version... great on all types of materials including flexible materials... and I've used it on rubber and wetsuits etc.... its got some uv resistance and is a super bond and seal...

Meets my needs and requirements just fine and my 2 Scrappers are super duper Scrappers ready for the Hawaiian salt air and water everywhere.... (yes... I helped out others with 4 of mine at cost.. but I kept the 2 with the largest gaps... 1 to beat up... and one for making sheaths)....

Hope that helps....
