Let me kick the dead horse one more time ...

If I want to permanently bond something on my boat, 3M 5200. Permanent. As in grinding it off someday. (which is why several members won't ever use it)

(and does it make a big difference whether I use regular or quick cure?)

If I want a really really good adhesive, but much more removable, 3M 4200.

If I want to seal the gap between my side console (fiberglass) and the boat, White Boatlife Caulk? If I want to prevent water intrusion into a hole with a screw ... is this Boatlife, also?

And finally, never Silicone, because upon later application, neither Silicone nor anything else will stick where Silicone once was.

How am I doing? Comments??
