3m 5200

[GIL]

thats an aweful lot of trouble.

I grind the base on the driveway or garage floor ( perfect rough finish) wipe it with acetone, then use the same rag to wipe below the couplers, squirt some PL-II out of the caulk gun, stick it down, mush and twist to line up the output nipple, drink a beer.

then go ride.

Now that there is some funny poop-thats exactly how I sanded mine.

Its this stuff, its about $3 a tube at lowes.

alot cheaper than 3m5200

I repaired a boat transom with it a couple of years ago and its still holding strong.

As long as youre sure use sandpaper on the pump and you should be ok. Rough the surfaces up on the ski and pump; I sanded and I used acetone to clean the surfaces, and after that I had no problems.

uh, how is this different than liquid nails??
did you look at the tub and shower surround Adheasive, seams like that would be the stuff to use, most surrounds are fibreglass!!!!!!!!

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

I have no idea how its different, I just know it works on wood/steel/aluminum/plastic/and fiberglass.

all thigns ive used it on with GREAT success, it dries fast, hard as a rock, and is waterproof.

Im not sure what qualitites you look for in an adhesive, but this for sure meets mine.

fawk, im not trying to sell the stuff, just helpa brother out.

He doesnt need some nasa mixed ratio crap with $45 worth of epoxy and fillers in it.

Epoxy resin sticks fine to plastic:biggthumpup: .

I don't think the resin adheres well to the plastic of the pump. (seems I have tried that before). That why I used glass strands in the manner described.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

is this the most recent issue?

IM lost on this joke apparently.

Its funny, actually, we had a tube of liquid nails in my garage so I figured, hey its warm enough to ride, so I used the liquid nails to secure my turf. Honestly, the color is a little different but it seems to work pretty well. Ive only ridden three or four times since I used liquid nails to tack in my turf, but it seems to have worked just as well as the contact cement I got from wamiltons.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

dang, sorry I missed that.

:arms:

 

[sjetrider]

Got to make sure it doesnt break down in gas and oil though.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

the PL stuff hasnt been bothered by gas and oil, not sure of the liquid nails.

I try hard not to get any fuel in my tray though!

Its usually pretty effing cold in GA if it goes down to freezing.

:haha:

You GA folk are silly...

Youre just jealous we have flowing water here.:biggthumpup:

5200 woes.

I gave up on 5200, as it takes too long to cure and the adhesion quality isn't that good. Blowsion & I both carry the 940FS Urethane sealant, as it sets up better, is sandable, and seems to work best for Tubbies, etc. The price is $15.95 per tube, and it fits into your caulking gun like the 5200
Thanks,
Randy
