Hattie,
Thats interesting. I wonder what the advantages are to sealing the drain holes? Doesn't make a lot of sense considering if the gasket is good, no water should get in there. And if the gasket is bad then the water has a way out. Being a contractor and having done many roofing/water leak repairs I have found it is easier to direct water flow rather than make something "waterproof". Water has a knack of finding its way into anything. Its easier to control where it goes than seal it out completely. RT
