underwater sealant
(OP)
I am looking for a low pressure water "sealant". I am needing to seal a relatively small failure of a butyl rubber base flexible sealant applied between galvanized culvert pipe and cast iron canal gate frame. The site experiences approximately 4' head of water. The application cannot be properly dried during application.

There is also another set of materials that are used for piling restoration that will work.
Checkout the Densona Products, one of numerous suppliers that can supply wet surface caulks.

With some of the marine caulks I have sealed leaks at 7' underwater on several wooden boats, granted the leaks were not wide. It was where some caulking was lost.
To keep the differential low he could get some fibrous marine caulking to assist the sealant.
