Default fixing my Garmin 76 GPS

doesn't 5200 harden after a week or two?

I wanted to pass on a method I used to fix my handheld

Garmin GPS 76
that might be useful for similar units. One of the push

buttons had
come out meaning that I could no longer access that

function without
pushing something into the unit to press the membrane pad

where the
switch had been. I squirted a little 3m5200 into the hole

to form a
new "button" and it is just flexible enough to form a good

button for
pressing the membrane AND it re-seals the unit to make it

waterproof
again.
