I guess that about sums it up for this thread...

Well how about one more question:

What about the construction grade adhesives? I went to HD looking for some
epoxy, and came out with some premium stuff in a big tube that is used to
join just about anything, and very strong at that. No mixing, no fuss.

Not sure how that specific product will work; I do know that builders
have reported that Liquid Nails, even though it is water resistant
for construction, tends to come apart if soaked in water in a boat.

By definition, a house is little more than a poorly built boat.

You are talking about adhesives used to build a house.

From what I've read, a certain type of premium construction adhesive is
just about as good as 5200, which is good indeed.

But it is very different from epoxy. For bonding wood to wood, new
fiberglass to old fiberglass, I would use epoxy.

For sealing under permanent deck fixtures and so on, I would use 5200. I
might consider trying the construction adhesive for something not too
important. A penny saved is a penny earned. ;-)
