Default Questions about Git-Rot

Another shipboard item that works on the road.

expensive, but worth every dollar. The UNIFLITE people used it to glue
2 2X4's together to make a 4X4.
* A friend had a partly rusted out roof on his van, and a few squirts
of 5200 fared in sealed it up better than original.
* I had a '60 Owens 35' carvel planked, with a rotted bow. Used the
git-rot to address the rotten wood, then fit and epoxied new wood to
pretty it up. Had the boat for 13 years, and never saw any more of
that kind of problem. Of course took to washing down with salt water
once a week which I do NOT recommend for you!

Good luck on your project.

Very cool! I'm now leaning toward using panel pieces I can slip
between the frame and skin and the 3m 5200 looks like it will work
wonderfully for glueing the frame to the panel, the panel to the skin
and the individual panel pieces together.

Thanks

Bill
