I have done the same thing with Captain Tolley's liquid sealant both on
the toe rail(s) and I also do it on the wooden hand rails on the coach
roof. When I did the handrails for the first few times, the liquid
would run under them and disappear.....after a few applications, the
liquid must have filled all the cavities as it would begin to run down
the side of coach roof indicating it could not take any more.....and no
leaks since with minimal effort.

I used to tighten the toe rail bolts. No more. I grew more concerned
about squeezing out all the butyl rubber.
Now each year or two I simply run several beads of Captain Tolley's
Creeping Crack Cure down the toe rail / deck interface. Cures fairly
quickly. Run a bead, drink a beer. Repeat as necessary.
Haven't seen any significant leaks since I've been doing it. Been
several years now since I adopted this practice.

I know my toe rail leaks in a couple of places. Has anybody redone
the whole thing? If yes about how much time did it take you? I am
going to try to tighten the bolts first. If that doesn't work I'm
going to take out each bolt and try to get in there as much B-tape
as possible and then tighten. Any other thoughts or suggestions?
