3M5200
Submitted by Ericl on Thu, 2021-12-30 06:46
Hi
I need to get hold of a cartridge of 3M5200 ASAP. Does anyone know if there is an (open) stockist in Perth. Can get over East from CH Smith, but they are closed till 4th January.
Also, if anyone has used it before, would you recommend fast cure - 24 hours, or 7 day cure. Do they achieve the same final strength ?. I do think I can manage to get the bits in place within 5 to 10 minutes, so less than skin time of fast cure
Cheers for any replies

Thanks guys
Thanks guys. Re Sika 291, I dont think it is structural, more of a sealant. 3M5200 carries a warning that you should only use it where you never intend to try remove the item that you have bonded. My last boat, a Grady had a pod that had been attached with 5200 and then bolted on. I tried to remove the pod for maintenance by removing first the bolts and then trying to pull off the pod. No way it was going to move. I have no doubt that the transon would have pulled off before the 3M5200 gave way.
Anypuddle, had a mishap and a part of my gunwhale got pulled off. It is a separate piece so no serious damage was done, but I need to re-attach it to get my pot tipper working and get back the use of a few rod holders that are on it

Hi Bing
I am still looking for the 3M product if thats what you have it would be great. I do have one on order from CH Smith, but it could be quite some time before that arrives. Meantime, I have made a temporary fix so that I can at least get my craypots out
