When I first opened this tube of Boatlife, it was a bit watery...kind of thin for bedding compound... Anyone else have that experience? What do you all prefer for bedding compound?

It's great for what it's for. I'd recommend Sikkaflex for your job. It is a true bedding compound and used by many OEM's Duane G Winter 1984 BW Sport 15 Center Console
