Before I seal the tray?

[Metal4130]

Before I seal up the tray to re-foam it is there anything I should be doing or maybe something I might have forgotten to do? I dont want to seal it up and then remember something I didn't do. :doh:

Install drain plugs and a channeling system so you never have to refoam again.

Wal-mart!

where do you get that at?

Home Depot ,red tube .still takes longer than 24 hrs though unless it's 80 degrees out .
In my garage at about 55 degrees it took days to dry

 

[onesojourner]

how hard will the 5200 be when dry? its been a week now. still kind rubbery.

man sorry about this metal4130

:hijacked:

My walmart doent have 5200 at all. And my homedepot only has the blue slow drying stuff. Right now in my 50 degree garage it takes about 7 days to fully cure. In the mean time i'll be working on my hood mod. When it is dry it is softer and not tacky at all, but it is still sorta rubber like. I really can't describe it, you will know when it is dry.

It will be slightly rubbery, but virtually indestructible. I have sealed a cracked plastic radiator on a Nissan with that stuff - it's still going strong.

Or you have to refoam more often. Jacobski had drains on his superjet. Guess what he's doing. You got it, refoaming

I didnt think mine did either but they have it hidden in a little corner in the marine dept.:woot: but its the slow dry.

 

[hangtime]

Home depot has it in the paint department with all the other sealants /super glue's/ etc :Banane01:

 

[dirtriderx99]

Is it ok that I sealed the tubes up with epoxy with filler? Its a little too late to do anything about it now.
