There are times though when nothing other than 5200 will do. My wife had a
car that had a wide, rubber band on the front bumper held on by whatever
adhesive General Motors used at the time. It kept popping off despite
several attempts by the dealer to reattach it. Finally, I remembered that I
had some 5200 and smeared some onto the back side of the rubber band, then
taped it in place against the bumper until it cured. It never moved again.

I didn't say it should NEVER be used. I just said that people use it in a lot of
applications where it is the wrong thing, exactly because it is so tenacious.
There are very few uses for it on a boat.

Tenacity can be a good thing. I've found many good uses for it and
always carry some on the boat.

So as I move along to another summer of hard work and boating, I go
with the knowledge that the general concencus here, even with my
friend charlie is that 5200 indeed has several if not many uses on a
boat, including and most probably for harry whose repair will probably
be the last one his little boat needs. Someone should still paste him
my suggestion of Occoume, 5200, and a hand full of bronze silicone
ring nails available at most hardware stores or Glen-L.com.
