Q1: what brand and color of sealant is a close match to Desert Tan and is recommended and readily available to caulk seams on the cockpit deck of an OUTRAGE 18?

I used OSI Quad #450 last year—a perfect match:

Hey Phil--In your response [above from 2024], you recommend OSI 450 [as being a good color match to Desert Tan, but] the link [that was in that post and has now been deleted] takes you to [a vendor's page selling a different product,] OSI 405.
I learned OSI uses numbers for colors, and there are color charts.
Please confirm the [OSI] color number that you know is a good match [for Desert Tan].

Sorry, bad link.
No one on Amazon is selling # 450 now (1/4/24)
Here is a new link.

This is what you should use for all your screws and sealant needs.
