Have you had any that peeled? I am curious if it was or wasn't water proof after peeling.

Yes, I did learn quickly that it would peel off. Stopped doing it that way, so never tested it for waterproofness after peeling.

For some reason I was under the impression that it is the silicone adhering to the thread that is important and not so much the coating, unlike urethane where the coating is important.

That's my impression too, the stuff saturates and fills tiny gaps between the threads, thus another reason not to put it on thick. Just extra weight for no reason.[/QUOTE]

It was near freezing when I did it in my garage and at that time I didn't want to mess with multiple coats and doing it more than once.

AHA! I don't blame you at all.
