you can use seam sealer or go to an RV store and get a roll of butyl tape they use for windows. (about 10$). IT is about an inch wide, and stays soft. It is like plumbers putty but already flattened into a nice roll. Put it on the fender, peel the paper off, place your bucket and screw it in place, then peel off the excess. either way should work well,
