         How about 3M Strip Caulk?

         It's pretty pliable in cold temps, will handle exposure to 
water.  I assume it would stick to cold metal.  Maybe store it inside so 
it's warm and soft when you apply it.  Doesn't really "cure", so I don't 
think it's as sensitive to temperature.  If the surface it needs to stick 
to is rusty, a quick pass with a wire brush to get rid of the loose rust 
might help it stick to good metal.
