Default Bostic

The wading manual lays out the materials and methodology for each carrier model.
See: Chilwell, 63/57, June 1943. Three types of Bostik compound are described.
With thanks to Stephen C. (UK)

See also Watson, U.C. Vol. II showing some Bostik compound remaining in place long after the waterproofed carriers left the coast, NWE, June-July 1944. There are plenty of post-June 6/44 images showing carriers without wading pads welded in place.

Wading pads were factory installed on Windsor Carrier Mk-I/I from the 1,340th vehicle. (Inventory Cards, Bovington T.M. archives)
