I know this is an old thread, but I thought I would revive it.
I just spent about 30 minutes on the phone with Sue from Twin Cities Marine. I called to order some Starbrite silicone caulk for my deck - fortunately she asked what I was trying to do.
Starbrite was the OEM sealant, but they no longer make the correct color. She told me that Twin Cities has spent a long time exhaustively researching the best alternative - contacting companies etc. What they have been using for years - without problems - is OSI Quad caulk #450.
I asked what they are using to seal under deck plates (Beckson says only use silicone) and they use the same Quad caulk.
Thought others would be interested in knowing.
