T&T: to 5200 or not to 5200?

[Mark Tilden]

Scott:

IMHO, anytime you don't specifically want or need the adhesive qualities of
5200 (Polyurethane), Polysulfide sealant is a much better choice. It has all
the sealant qualities of polyurethane without the powerful adhesive that can
be both difficult and destructive to remove. 3M makes a polysulfide sealant,
and at least one variety of "Boatlife" caulk is polysulfide.

Tomorrow, while everyone else in Seattle is at Seafair, I'll be drilling yet
another 6 holes in my boat  : (

 

I'm mounting Weaver Tender Chocks.  The question is should I bed them in
5200 or use something less adhesive.  I'll have backing plates, will over
drill, fill with epoxy and re-drill, but my question is should I bed them in
5200.  The deck is an aggressive nonskid on the boat deck.  There is also a
slight crown to it so I want to make sure I have a really good load
distributing attachment point to the boat.  

 

Thanks, Scott Bulger, Alanui, N40II, Seattle WA
