Default 5200 - How strong on fiberglass

As said, I have no personal experience. But my understanding is that 5200 is
a bedding / sealing compound, not an adhesive / bonding agent. Without
substantial testing or experience, I would be very leery.
My guess is that 3M will say the same. They will, however; be happy to talk
to you about your application. In my experience, they have been quite
cooperative in trying to help customers solve problems.

You ever try to get that stuff off of anything. My cabin sole was glued
down with 5200. The bottom ply stayed glued to the floor. Had to use a
putty knife and hammer for about 10 hours to get it up. It is definitely
an adhesive/bonding agent. Use Lifecalk for bedding.
