I think that you really need a thick gasket to make up for the uneven surface of the fiberglass cap and trunk. Besides, Formatex will make it difficult to separate the cap from the trunk in the future.

Lastly, this gasket keeps your Rhodes 22 AFLOAT! You should maintain a material that can withstand the stresses and pressures.

Butyl tape might be an option or permatex form-a-gasket if Charles can’t get it.
