| 3M 5200 (IMHO)
I'd love to see how we all feel about this; I believe 3M 5200 simply sucks. I have heard and read that it's a flexible, tenacious adhesive sealer, but have seen more than enough instances of failure. I have layed a bead along side something, much like sealing a bathtub, and found it cracked from extremely light flexing weeks later. I have seen times when it just didn't stick as advertised after careful preparation. Other times its stuck to the point of not being removable without damaging the substrate. So tell me, WHY do we want this stuff on our boat? Thanks, Chris
