Yes, glob of wax....

In Response To: Scot - you just pushed it into a glob of wax? (Garry Seaward Fox and Mac 26C - Orlando)

Some folks in my sailing club recommended that. I believe they used wax as a temporary fix and found it worked just fine even when trailering. That toilet ring wax is certainly sticky enough and mine has worked fine for three years and several trailer trips.
