Brent Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Mellema Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Brent I have been using 3M 4000 fast setting sealer. It seems to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share 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.
