I'm about to rebuild and fit my roof on the RP and wondering what type of sealant would be best for around the edge.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks Graham

I used black Tiger Seal and it seems to be lasting well.

Thanks Ivor.  Looks like it is available in NZ so I will investigate further.

I used black 'domestic roof and gutter' sealant about 10 years ago and all still good.

Reliant used a black filler/glue to attach rubber bumpers to GRP body mouldings.....excellent stuff....looks rather like  silicone sealer when set.  Sorry but in hospital so can't look at my notes for name of stuff.

Like Ivor I used Tiger Seal and it has stood the test of time, 10 years now. When buying Tiger Seal ensure you check the 'Use Before Date' it has a life of 12 months when unopened, beware old stock!
