Brent Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 What materials do you like for bedding down deck hardware such as cleats, blocks, etc? Same question for bedding down the gunwale. Quote
Pat Mellema Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Brent I have been using 3M 4000 fast setting sealer. It seems to work well. Quote
Designer Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 I have not used 3M 4000 but I think it would be good. We usually use 3M 101 which is a polysulphide, it is not a true adhesive like 3M 5200 (polyurethane)so you can get the hardware off again if you need to. Another small advantage is that 101 does not go off in the tube as quick as the polyurethanes. We like to use silicone on the centerboard pivot plate so that it will be easy to remove. Quote
