    It is clear that your "plan" is to never actually fix this, or find out what the real problem is, but spend the rest of your life "making do" and "band-aiding". Be honest with yourself.

    Flex-Seal will eventually mildew. It is a short-term fix, and eventually it also becomes food. "Life finds a way."

    There are types of silicone (bathroom) sealants with anti-mold agents
    blended in. Roofing-type sealants are not suitable. https://tinyurl.com/6j7k8xdy
    Cured silicone sealant can be softened &removed with a mineral
    turpentine poultice.

    Small infestations of mold can be bleached/destroyed with a foaming
    bleach application (leave on 15min).
